The only openly gay person on stage during Wednesday's activities was Lesbian musician Melissa Etheridge, who performed a medley of patriotic songs in the late afternoon.

The number of celebrities and elected officials dropping by to speak to the LGBT caucus was way down this year, too. But those who did won strong ovations.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom warned delegates that the California ballot measure over same-sex marriage is "the second most important election in America" this year.

Party Chairman Howard Dean also received a rousing welcome. Dean told delegates that the "most important thing" an LGBT person can do is "saying who you are."
