Democratic National Convention Expecting Record Number Of Openly LGBT Delegates

While the RNC is trying its damnest to bolt the closet door shut, the Democratic National Convention is on track to break records with the number of openly LGBT candidates attending next week’s event in Charlotte, NC.

According to the Washington Blade, National Stonewall Democrats identified 470 openly LGBT delegates expected to attend the 2012 convention and for the first time Arkansas, Mississippi and Alaska are among the states contributing to that number.

When taking into account officials attending the convention, we’re talking a total of 518 LGBT participants. Though the number could be even higher since the NSD has incomplete info from gay political meccas, California and New York.
