There are some pictures on the counter protest FB page:

The counter protesters were encircled that group and were everywhere but that one section. Some of the pictures show gay supporters on three floors of the capitol, those pictures were taken from three floors just a crowded. None of the pictures of the pictures show more than a fraction of the counter protesters.
There were a lot of straight gay marriage supporters and I made a point to thank as many as I could.
An interesting observation about the anti-gay marriage group, they seemed to be a number of families, mother, father and all the kids. Then there were a number of older people. There was nobody between the ages of 14 and 35 or so. 5 or 6 large families and all of the performers (I hear they were grand kids of the Osmond clan, not sure on that) accounted for almost half of the anti-gay marriage crowd.
