I've spoken about the Silent Witnesses a couple of times on this site. Here's a YouTube segment showing them in action at Harrisburg's recent Pride Parade. We're all very proud of them!

A funny related story: we also had homophobic demonstrators outside our Voices United concert (which was a smashing success, BTW) the night before. We had only two protesters, who were considerably outnumbered by Silent Witnesses. One of the Witnesses, Alanna Berger -- also a major organizer and trainer in the program -- plays hammer dulcimer in a local Celtic folk band. She heard the male protester say to a passerby, "Satan's Children are performing in there!" Her comment: "Gee, I didn't even know it was double booked!":D
