By all accounts this was the largest LGBT caucus ever at a Democratic National Convention, but precisely how large is up for debate. There were several different numbers bandied about from the podium of the August 25 LGBT caucus meeting. Some counts hovered around 255, but apparently those included only delegates and alternates, who have the potential to vote on the nomination. That number alone, said DNC Secretary Alice Germond, represents a 41 percent increase over 2004. Other counts were much higher and included non-voting state party officials. A tally based on a roll call taken during the first caucus meeting added up to 377.
