DNC LGBT Council

(Community Matters) Spent yesterday morning in meetings with other LGBT activists – some DNC supporters, others detractors.  Senators Gillibrand and Sherrod Brown joined us briefly – Kirstin joining me for a short bit where we briefly discussed a current non-LGBT topic of interest. Gov Tim Kaine, the head of Ohio’s State Democratic Party’s LGBT caucus, the new national Stonewall executive director, a few unmentionables, DNC LGBT director Jaime Citron, DNC finance director Rufus Gifford, treasurer Andy Tobias and many others engaging the over subscribed group of 150+ in attendance.  We wrapped up with a much smaller lunch to discuss how the LGBT Council might be most effective going forward – good day and good group to appropriately push and pull our organization.
