Organizers of the
forthcoming National Equality Rally in Philadelphia launched a
video on YouTube Wednesday promoting the event.
Set to the music of
Five for Fighting's "What Kind of World Do You Want?"
the video kicks off with an image of Martin Luther King Jr.'s
"I Have a Dream" speech before segueing into images of gay
rights rallies, marches, and historic moments.
