Political activists say LGBT community should be well represented at senatorial district conventions

At least 100 LGBT people will be serving as delegates or alternates at the Democratic Party's senatorial district conventions on March 29, according to Jeff Strater, political co-chair of the Human Rights Campaign's Dallas-Fort Worth Steering Committee and vice president of the Dallas Gay and Lesbian Alliance.

"I have gotten e-mails from people throughout North Texas who will be representing our community at their senatorial district or county conventions," Strater said. "I think we can probably count on a good 100 people that I know, and we're hoping to spot even more at the conventions themselves. I am hearing about new people every day."
