I was able to attend the Minnesota for Marriage rally at the capital (most of it anyway) and was both pleased and slightly disappointed by the turnout. I didn't hear any estimates, but I would put it at a bit less than a thousand (maybe 800) attendees. The cooperation between Catholic and Protestant Christians was extremely evident, with both Relevant Radio and KTIS present, and in the choice of speakers.
