Crowds packed the streets around Ground Zero in NYC last night, following the news announcement of the death of Osama Bin Laden.

As word spread last night about the death of Osama Bin Laden, and following President Obama's address to nation confirming the event, people took to the streets all across the U.S. to express gratitude, cheer on our troops, vent about a 10-year war on terrorism, bond emotionally with others, and to express their pride in America.

There were conflicting emotions, too. In NYC, both in Times Square and at Ground Zero, thousands gathered. Keith Edwards headed down to Ground Zero on behalf of Logo and 365Gay News to find out how people were responding, what they were feeling, and also to discuss how they learned of the news of Bin Laden's death, and also the role that social media played in last night's events.

Have a look!

As you can see, there were lots of emotions on display.
