The LGBT caucus is, noted Tom Chorlton, an alternate from South Carolina who is attending his 11th national convention, larger than "all except two states - New York and California." He may be right or he may be off by one state, Texas.

California has 503 delegates and alternates; New York has 320; and Texas has 260. The number of openly LGBT delegates and alternates as of Monday seemed to stand at approximately 255.
