Almost always mayors of the city the parade is held in attend, and most of the times the state governors. Sometimes senators attend, but not nearly as often.

Paterson's daughter is a lesbian; so you know gay marriage is an important issue for him and his family.

At the Berlin CSD, Mayor Klaus Wowereit was one of the keynote speakers and co-sponsor of the weekend activities with roughly 500,000 participants. He is also the first openly gay mayor of a large city in Germany and both successful and popular. His mayoral opponent is saying, "Don't vote for him just because he's gay."

Touché. It's a good thing everyone knows Cheney's standards are not what other politicians should adhere to. Gotta please those neo-cons

People march for awareness and equality, far-right and religious extremists try to disrupt it. No surprise there.
