Philadelphia (AP) – Hundreds of gay-rights demonstrators marched through the streets of the city’s historic center on Sunday carrying rainbow-colored flags and signs calling for equal rights in marriage, in the workplace and in health care.
The National Equality Rally was billed as the first national demonstration since 2000 for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights and the first held outside Washington, D.C. The marchers displayed signs from dozens of organizations and photos of people they said had been killed because of their sexualities.
