NY Same-Sex Marriage: What Do 10,000 Protesters Look Like? (Video)
What do 10,000 protesters look like? Not this.
NOM, the National Organization For Marriage, claims “nearly 10,000 people were present†at their anti-​gay, anti-​same-​sex marriage, anti-​equality hate rally in midtown Manhattan, fallaciously titled, “Let The People Vote!†But this video, on top of police reports which put the attendees at “more than 3,000 supporters,†total, (i.e., under 4,000) and with news outlets mostly recording the attendees as “several thousand people,” it’s clear that NOM has a counting problem.

Jeremy: “Excuse me — did you vote last November.”
NOM Marcher: “Yes. Did you?”
Jeremy: “I did indeed. I voted for Gov. Cuomo, and you?”
NOM Marcher: “Me too.”
Protestor:Â “We want to vote just like California.”

Just think about those for a moment.
