Twitter, HRC Mock 'Crowd' at NOM's March for Marriage


HRC captured the scope of NOM's March for Marriage.

The National Organization for Marriage's much-touted March for Marriage descended on Washington, D.C., today, supposedly featuring thousands of Americans who support what the group calls "traditional marriage," between one man and one woman.

But despite a full-court press from NOM and its antigay allies encouraging Americans to stand up against the so-called gay agenda, it appears the actual turnout at the march is less than massive. Nevertheless, the organization is live-streaming today's event, which can be watched live here.

LGBT activists are already hijacking NOM's Twitter hashtag #March4Marriage, and even the Human Rights Campaign joined in to openly mock the meager attendance at the supposed morality rally:

I've seen some the close-up photos of the crowd -- I'd swear a lot of them are just curious onlookers and tourists who wandered over to see what the fuss was about.
