Free Speech yes, Corporate pride NO! Video

Friday,June 12 was the second scheduled Free Speech march demanding an end to the recent wave of police dispersals(by force) of unpermitted street marches. This being Pride weekend, queer liberation was the chosen theme, with a focus on targetting "corporate Pride"

One chant was "Corporate Pride makes me sick."
The march began at P st Beach, the traditional gay woods,stepping off a little after midnight and taking P st heading towards Dupont Circle.

When marchers passed the offices of the HRC or Human Rightys Campaign, a major "mainstreaming" gay lobby, the chants changed to "That's bullshit, get off it ,the HRC's for profit, AIDS and oppression, will not be solved by gay Marriage, floowed by calls for "Gay Divorce!"

Finally, marchers went to the 18th st bar area in Adams-Morgan,chanting "out of the bars, into the streets."
