When the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage kicked off its multi-city anti-gay protest tour in Augusta Maine, only 76 showed up to support NOM, and there were half again as many counter-protesters. When NOM staged one of its protests against marriage equality in Indianapolis, pro-equality counterprotesters outnumbered the meager NOM presence by a factor of more than 6 to 1.
At the Atlanta NOM protest stop, the ratio was been even more skewed: only 30 people showed up to demonstrate against equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans, dwarfed by some 300 counter-protesters on the side of equality.
