Not So Silent Night

It looks like Saturday's Light Up The Night event was not quite the silent protest requested by the organizers at Join The Impact, at least in NYC. The clip below was sent to us by Richard Davis at NYC's LGBT Center.
Also check out Eric Leven's coverage of the protest in Miami and Rex Wockner's report from San Diego. Wockner says that things were "silent" in San Diego, which he rightly took issue with.

As this was a "silent vigil," there was no chanting -- and participants were told not to bring protest signs. That's all good and well as long as passersby have some inkling what you're silently doing. Unfortunately, that did not seem to be the case here. People kept asking. The pretend nuns in face paint likely added to the confusion.

Join The Impact has posted hundreds of photos and videos from around the country. Their next action will be a January 10th march on the nation's state capitals to demand a repeal of DOMA.
