http://pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6650It was a real zoo out there at the Denver Convention Center this afternoon, the venue for the LGBT caucus. Autumn and Terrance were able to get into first because they had the valuable credentials. I waited for Russ, who had the perimeter credential, to arrive from the Pepsi Center so we could swap out. He went off to film some additional fundies for you all, and there is a bumper crop out there -- abortion protestors, environmentalist anti-meat folks (some wearing pig costumes!), and a group of sad-sack John McCainiacs marching.
I was able to interview James Hormel, activist, philanthropist and the first openly gay man to serve as a United States ambassador. I'll have the video of that later. I ran into the gorgeous guys of Towleroad, the other official credentialed LGBT blog (and the bane of Bill Donohue's existence), and a host of folks who said "hello" to all the readers out there.
