Democrats to set LGBT delegate record at Denver DNC

The Democratic Party is being positively shaped by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocates who believe in Democratic principles of fair play, hard work, security at home and equal opportunity for all," said NSD Executive Director Jon Hoadley.
The increase in participation is due in part to the Stonewall Democrats' Pride in the Party program, which sought a 14% increase in participants to 321 from the 282 that attended Boston's Democratic National Convention in 2004.

Become a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention!
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) voters are one of the most loyal voting-blocks in the Democratic Party – second only to the African American community. We are everywhere and we vote!
We have earned our seat at the table and it is now time to make sure we have a strong voice in selecting the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee at the National Convention August 25-28 in Denver. This is our chance to be a part of the solution this country so desperately needs.
National Stonewall Democrats (NSD) worked closely with the National Committee’s LGBT Caucus to push every state to set goals for LGBT delegates to the convention. But goals are nothing if they are not met.
That’s where you come in. We need you and LGBT Democrats in every state to run for national convention delegate. NSD has put together Pride in the Party to help you run for delegate..
Just sign up and we’ll make sure the campaign of your presidential candidate knows you want to be a delegate. Campaigns are looking for LGBT Democrats just like you who support them, who want to run for delegate, and who want to be a part of electing a Democratic President. (But they can’t talk to you if they can’t find you. That’s why you need to sign up!)
Be sure to also check out the “Delegate Information” where you can download information about your state’s delegate selection process. Our summary shows the filing deadlines and filing requirements. It also provides information about contacting your State Democratic Party. (Most State Parties have information and filing forms on their website.)
