national LGBTQ march in Washington, D.C. Millennium March on Washington https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_March_on_Washington https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6858895 An event to raise awareness and visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people and issues of LGBTQ rights in the US, it was held April 28 through April 30, 2000 in Washington, D.C. A march from the Washington Monument to the front lawn of the United States Capitol took place on April 30, where the crowd was addressed by several members of Congress and, via video, by President Bill Clinton. Estimates of attendance ranged from 200,000 to 1 million people. The event was criticized for a lack of inclusiveness and political focus as well as concerns over financial accountability. Allegations of theft from a vendor and severe financial mismanagement arose after the event. The final accounting showed the event ended with $330,000 in unpaid debt. In terms of the expense per participant, it was the least cost-efficient of any national LGBTQ march to date.
