After gathering outside of the LGBT Center in New York at 5AM, we joined the Gays Against Guns and Voices 4 protest organizers for a bus ride to Washington D.C. to sashay down the National Mall with hundreds of thousands of people. In total, there were an estimated 800,000 people in the nation's capital, which, if accurate, makes the anti-gun rally "the largest single-day protest in the history of the nation's capital," according to USA Today.
