Attention Denver - The Gays Have Landed

Today, over 350 openly gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender delegates will descend upon Denver, just four days before the Democratic National Convention is set to get underway. The main topic, of course will be equal rights and anti-discrimination laws.

But the GLBT interest and activism won’t stop there. The Stonewall Democrats, whose conference begins today at the Renaissance Denver Hotel, will also be working around the clock to make the most of the convention by creating strategies to help various candidates of the Democratic Party become elected in state and local races. This will also give states a chance to sharpen their fall election skills.

John Marble, a spokesman for the Stonewall Democrats said, “I think a lot of delegates, especially LGBT delegates, are looking at how they can use the convention effectively. If we do this right, we can really use this as an organizing convention.”
