The Latin American Youth Center’s Joel Carela attended the National Equality March in Washington, D.C. this month and sent a photo and some brief thoughts.

During the National Equality March, I was surrounded by some of the most dedicated queer rights advocates. Everywhere I turned there were people from places as close as Baltimore, Maryland and as far as San Francisco, California. To see all of these advocates converging on to the nation's capital both sent chills down my spine and raised my confidence.
