Later that same day … Broadway Impact held a Marriage Equality Rally, where Cynthia Nixon announced she and her girlfriend Christine Marinoni are engaged!
The rally featured Audra McDonald, Cheyenne Jackson, Cynthia Nixon, David Hyde Pierce, Gavin Creel, Kristin Davis, Christine Quinn, Tom Duane, Daniel O’Donnell and the cast of “HAIR.” Dan Choi was also, obvs, in attendance.

must. read. this. before. bed. ! Maybe rachel will be keeping tabs aon her boy dan and happen upon this, and then hang out with you guys and make you drinks. maybe.
oh, i’m so proud to be a part of this team.
I second that.
Well at least part of the intern team? Or are we all considered part of the whole? haha
well technically the interns are part of our military intern army, which has a very strict do ask do tell policy. but the army is part of the overall team, because the team is autostraddle, which is like the country equivalent of this analogy, which is brilliant, so brilliant that i must stop right now!
wait, are we disciplining interns over homosexual conduct? that’d be amazing.
Please edit out Lt. Choi interview from the rest of video. It is very important content! Excellent interview should be featured!
This website has easily become one of my favorites. Whether its the glbt related news stories, interviews, or just pictures of hot girls. you all do a wonderful job :)
I am really really glad you decided to go, yet sad I couldn’t but this is fan-freakin-tastic. This type of stuff is the reason I believe even bigger stuff is going to happen for you guys in the very near future.
ps- My day feels at a loss if I don’t get to check this website daily – as I learned last week on my moving day. (and that was the hot 100 day!)This is probably not healthy
wow – that video made me soo happy. Thank you for this amazing article!
this is awesome, well done to you guys for going! dan choi and his boyfriend are ace, DADT is so bloody ridiculous it makes my head hurt!
The video was awesome! This was great – thanks for getting out there and doing the roving reporting.
Dan choi is amazing and cute as hell!
His boyfriend kind of looks like Mike Stipe but with hair!
Love the article and the video and Haviland is back, yay!
I was totally distracted by the Reverend’s teeth! He seems decent enough though!
Autostraddle <3
dan choi is absolutely delightful :)
everyday i love more what autostraddle is evolving into.. you should be very proud of yourselves!
The second preacher-man you talked to had some pretty scary lookin’ dudes around him. You girls are fearless!
I’m sure you can’t say, but I’d love to know what fake names you used.
Re: fake names… your guess is as good as mine! don’t recall, some play or other off of our actual first and last names.
I’d just assumed you ladies had readymade aliases you use all the time a la Regina Phalange.
This is so funny! “If there is a storm gathering, we would like to be there with the white knights/horsemen and so forth, I hear the apocalypse is a totally crazy laser-light show!!” LOL Great video, wonderful article! I heart Autostraddle!
So. So. So. So. So. PROUD!!!
The end of that video may have possibly made me mist up a little in my ocular region…and by “possibly” I mean “totally”.
Eeek great video. :)
Thanks for covering it.

“I may have thought a few times of Tasha & Alice, because I have chapstick for brains.”
by far the gayest thing I’ve heard/read you say/type. i mean really Riese, chapstick? homo!
Awesome video. His goons look scary but considering how you gals easily outwitted them, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. I see a future career in investigative reporting.
Congratulations on the video, it was fantastic. Taking it to the streets! I want to see more of this ( and not just b/c I miss NYC something Fierce)
GREAT video… i’m so happy you guys went out there. their counter-arguments were crap. “we respect the rights of gay people” but no marriage for them!!! how can they expect to win in the end when they can’t come up with one solid way that gay marriage affects them? can’t wait for them to “lose” more states!
and the second dude who just kept waving off your accusation that there were hate signs all over the place! closing your eyes and waving your arms won’t make them go away, dude!
so I wanted to see if this would come out bold
