“March for LGBT Freedom!”

Despite taking place during the final 2007 playoff appearance of the Chicago Cubs baseball team, Gay Liberation Network’s 9th annual Matthew Shepard March for LGBT Freedom drew about 300 people.
After the rally featuring Nikolai Alekseev, the crowd marched through the streets of Chicago’s gay business district and into a non-gay entertainment district next to Wrigley Field. Despite the Cubs being knocked out of the playoffs that night, most fans gave the marchers a friendly reception, applauding and high-fiving the participants.
