Thousands got all dolled up in wigs, make-up, glitter, heels and costumes and joined the March that started with a gathering ritual in Tompkins Square Park in Manhattan's East Village. With gorgeous NYPD escorts, we marched west to the historic Stonewall Inn, where people had already been celebrating all day! Stonewall was too full to let everyone inside, leading to a happy spillover with tons of people in the street reveling. There were fire dancers, vibrant colorful displays of fierce fashions and lots of cheering. One of the more popular chants was a playful reaction to the Supreme Court decision: "We don't want to marry, we just want to f*ck!" Once the March reached the Stonewall site, everyone held hands and sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz. On this historic day, there was special significance to "Dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true."
