Dean On Gays
ShareDNC Chairman Howard Dean unofficially endorsed a move by gay Democrats to require the party to guarantee that 5 to 10 percent of their '08 convention delegates are gay or lesbian.
"Of course that's a good idea," Dean said during a meeting with the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender caucus Friday evening.
The caucus unanimously passed a resolution urging the DNC to do so. Dean agreed to consider the move. "But I can probably tell you right now that I think it's a good idea."
"The only problem is that you can't tell by looking at somone whether they're gay. At least I can't because my gaydar isn't that good," Dean said to laughter from the caucus. [JOHN MERCURIO]
