Heading into the Democratic National Convention next week, the LGBT community is confronted with two stark ironies:

One: Under the presidential nominee who has uttered the words "gays and lesbians" in a supportive way more than any other candidate on the campaign trail, the Democratic Party has completely eliminated those words from its platform.

And two: A long line of LGBT leaders have only praise for the platform that dares not speak their name.
