Drew Barrymore was there. So was Sophia Bush. Kathy Griffin even brought her mom.

These were just a handful of the celebs among the 2,000 or so people who hit the streets of L.A. last night to rally in support of gay marriage.

Who else was there, and what did they have to say? Read on to find out…

Perez Hilton held court at a NO H8 get together at Fiesta Cantina in West Hollywood. "People need to come out," the celeb blogger said. "That's one of the biggest things. There are so many people in Hollywood who I wish would come out, but they remain closeted. It's about visibility and being vocal."

New papa and Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz had a message for the parents. "The most important thing to teach your kids is that people are people," he said. "It doesn't matter where you're from or who you are, if you're a good human being. I'm going to teach my child not to be a prejudiced kind of person."

Kelly Osbourne, who came along with fiancé Luke Worrell, said protests and rallies are necessary. "Eventually people are going to get sick of hearing us and they'll give us what we want," she said.

The night did have its lighter moments. Dollhouse star Eliza Dushku talked about her lesbian cousin's wedding in Harvard Yard. She laughed, "Two brides are hotter than one."
