David Paterson, possibly the best straight political ally the LGBT community has ever known, lead thousands of New Yorkers in a vigil for the at-risk queer youth of our state. A gentle rain began to fall during the action, matched only by the tears on everyone's faces as Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson led the crowd through a heart-wrenching rendition of Over The Rainbow.
