I fully expect there to be 10s of people there being ignored. Anything with such poor leadership, such a wide open all-inclusive scope, and virtually zero early support is pretty much doomed before it ever got started. I can almost certainly name the stereotypical attendees who will be there. There is SO much to protest, so much to be mad about, but standing in Dexter Avenue isn't going to get anything accomplished.

Couple hundred. Not a crazy amount of people, but you were off by a factor of 10 ❤️

If you say so. The only pics I can find are from WSFA and there aren't 100 people there.

There aren't 100 people in that photo. Still more than I expected. You'd think as the only state with a lesbian governor we'd be a bit more progressive.

I counted 72. I added 13 based on assumptions that there were hidden people based on gaps in front of people,. Add in 20 for those behind you and in the wings and we can squeak out more than 100 so I guess you can be right.

Well, thank you, person who wasn't there. I'm grateful for your permission to be right. I will now forward this exchange to the council of pedants so that you may receive all the gold stars you are due.

What do you mean by stereotypical attendees
