Something that was significant, however, was the ever-growing presence of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transpeople -- and that presence has come to carry some real power with it. So with Vice President Al Gore and Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman securely in place as the party's presidential ticket, drumming up constituent support was high on the agenda, and the GLBT caucus was a prominent part of everybody's handshake list. This on-scene report by This Way Out's MATT ALSDORF includes excerpts from podium speeches by vice presidential nominee JOE LIEBERMAN, presidential nominee AL GORE, the Human Rights Campaign's ELIZABETH BIRCH, and Matthew's father, DENNIS SHEPARD. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:40 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by author/commentator Andrew Sullivan ("Virtually Normal") [:30] + Of the several speeches by openly-queer delegates at the Democratic National Convention, we highlight two that may have touched most extensively on queer issues: by DR.
