Michelangelo Signorile is a gay radio talk-show host and usually does a good job skewering the anti-gay people when he can get them on his show. He went to the Democrat's convention in Charlotte as a reporter related to the Huffington Post.
In an amusing post Signorile went on a hunt for anti-gay delegates. He tried a black woman from Maryland. Lesbian. A Latino guy in a cowboy hat from Texas. Gay. A black man from Mississippi with a strong religious faith. Well, not gay, but would probably vote for marriage equality.
Yes, the Dems saw an advantage in straight leaders speaking about gay equality and in having gay speakers on the platform. Almost 10% of their delegates were gay, including at least one gay delegate from every state.
Opinions have changed.
