Hundreds of members of the LBGTQ community twerked and This Ain't Cops XXX (2010)booty bounced their way to a dance party outside of Vice President Mike Pence's house in a posh D.C. neighborhood last week to protest the inauguration.
This June, they're coming to Capitol Hill.
Inspired by Saturday's Women's March, the largest day of demonstration in United States history when sister marches are tallied together, 42-year-old David Bruinooge of Brooklyn decided to launch an LGBTQ march on June 11 during D.C.'s Pride Weekend, which would end at the Pride Festival near the U.S. Capitol.

"I was watching the events [of the Women’s March] unfold on TV and I was very proud and inspired by all the women, the strong women in our country who were kind of taking this to the street and getting their voices heard,” Bruinooge told TheWashington Blade. “And in the back of my mind as an openly gay man I thought the gay community should be doing something like this to follow up on the momentum."
Initially called "Gays on the Mall," the event's name has been changed to "National Pride March" to better reflect the LGBTQ community.
President Donald Trump has already pledged to sign the First Amendment Defense Act, which was shelved in 2015, but is being revived by House Republicans. If passed by Congress and signed into law, businesses, landlords and healthcare providers, including hospitals, could refuse service to LGBTQ people based on their religious beliefs.
