Andrew Belonsky August 23, 2012

1NewsIcon Margaret Cho knows that most LGBT citizens are not single-issue voters living in a marriage equality bubble: "I think it's important to acknowledge that even though we are fighting

1NewsIcon Wikileaks cables show backroom diplomatic chatter between the United States and Sweden on Uganda's "kill the gays" bill. Said then-US Ambassador to Uganda Jerry P.

internally".

1NewsIcon Mary Fisher, an instant legend after discussing her HIV positive status at the 1992 Republican National Convention, has not given up her fight and is still trying to get the GOP to listen, though admits she barely recognizes her party.

I feel like I want to stay a Republican because they might listen to me."

While some states have yet to fill their numerical goals for openly LGBT
delegates sent to the upcoming Democratic National Convention, records are being set in other ways: "[The National Stonewall Democrats have so far] identified at least 470
openly LGBT delegates that are set to attend the convention… [470] exceeds the goal of 418 delegates at the
convention and is already higher than numbers from 2008, when 277
delegates participated."
