The LGBT caucus to next month's Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, may well be one of the most eclectic bunches ever. Horacio Sierra is a doctoral candidate in English lit at the University of Florida, with a dissertation entitled "Sanctified Subversives: Depictions of Righteous and Rebellious Nuns in English and Spanish Renaissance Literature." Mirian Saez is the director of San Francisco's Treasure Island development. David Munar is an executive with the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. Colleen Cooke is a professor of therapeutic recreation at Slippery Rock University near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Sue Lovell is vice-mayor pro tem of Houston, Texas. Steve Driscoll is an opera choreographer turned pro-wrestling promoter from Massachusetts. Diego Sanchez, also of Massachusetts, is the first transgender delegate to be named to a convention committee.
