March on Washington DC for Gay Marriage in October?

Since Proposition 8 passed in November, there has been a lot of disscusion about a equal rights march in Washington DC. Many new activist and organizations have attempted to gain support for such an event, one of which was Million Gay March, which started out as an organization, later turned into and event, and then completely dropped away as Grassroots Equality Network took over the project. I was the leader of the Million Gay March's effort, though I never fully believed the time was right for a march on DC, instead I felt that an event not planned in any centalized location was the way to go when celebrating Stonewall. I am not going to lie and say I didn't discuss the possibilities of a march, but I took the advice of past leaders of this movement when they said the time was not right. After gaining more experience, I have seen what they meant, as a community, we tend to have issues coming to a consensus, and if we can't get buy in from the grassroots leaders, a march on DC would never work.
