...screenwriter who worked on Milk and had traveled with him to Nevada, told him they could make things right by getting gay people to demand - Harvey Milk-style - precisely what they wanted, without compromise: equal rights in all matters covered by every public law, state or federal. That sentiment, born of regret and anger, eventually became the motto of Sunday's march, one featured on almost every mailing sent by its organizers: "Equal protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states...

The Kerry-Lugar Act which has passed the Senate, after a similar bill passed in the House last month, would provide $7.5 billion in nonmilitary aid over the next five years, in an ambitious plan to counter widespread anti-American sentiment there by helping Pakistan's civilian government deliver essential services to its population.
