The controversial Millennium March on Washington Weekend is going full-steam ahead. RFK Stadium in D.C. will be the site of a massive Human Rights Campaign fundraiser April 29, the night before the March. Garth Brooks, Melissa Etheridge, Ellen DeGeneres, Anne Heche, Kristen Johnston, Nathan Lane, k.d. lang, Pet Shop Boys and more perform. The Ad Hoc Committee for an Open Process is still boycotting the March because of problems they see in how it was conceived, and how it continues to operate.
