Gays Against Bush gathered in Sheridan Square to feed into the massive UPFJ march. Several members then confronted gay Republicans at a Log Cabin party featuring NYC Mayor Bloomberg and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Meanwhile, QueerFist gathered at the library for a "marriage to the state." The group then held a wedding procession around midtown. After a kiss-in in Times Square, numerous members of the group were arrested on 8th Street
