Long an ally of LGBT Americans, Jon Stewart, practically declared his bisexuality on October 6 while decrying President Obama’s military policies on The Daily Show. During an episode entitled, “Gay After Tomorrow,” Jon said, “Still no promise on when Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell will be abolished. It seems the only thing that scares Americans more than terrorists is confronting the sexual duality that exists in all of us.” He paused during the awkward silence that ensued and continued, “Oops! Just me? . . . All right . . . I was throwing it out there . . . Just testing!”

Although reports estimate the crowd from the National Equality March to number between 50,000 and 300,000 this long shot photo shows the correct figure to be around 250,000. In any case, the streets were a mass of diversified humanity! Beautiful!
Tuesday, Jon Stewart devoted half of The Daily Show to a funny report about the historic gathering. Watch the clips below and/or watch the entire "Queer and Loathing in D.C." episode from October 13, if you were foolish enough to have missed it.
