Record Number Of LGBT Delegates To Attend Democratic Convention

The Stonewall Democrats are reporting that a record 358 openly LGBT delegates will represent the community at the Democratic Convention. Via PageOneQ:

A total of 358 participants from 48 states have signed on for this year's Denver event, running from August 25 to August 28, directly after the Stonewall Democrats National Convention, also taking place in Denver from August 21 to August 24. Notable names in these ranks include 21-year-old Jason Rae of Wisconsin, the youngest superdelegate, Latina lesbian Sonya Lewis of Colorado, transwoman and aerospace consultant Amanda Simpson of Arizona, Minnesota labor leader Javier Morillo-Alicea, and Young Stonewall Democrats founder and Texan Paul Tran.

According to the DNC's official convention site, there will be a total of 4440 delegates in Denver, giving us a percentage of representation that probably slightly exceeds our population.
