National Stonewall Democrats recently held a press conference to report that there are 365 openly-LGBT 2008 Democratic National Convention participants.  This is an increase from a total of 275 openly-LGBT convention participants reported in 2004.

In a just-released document (PDF) obtained by the Blend, John Marble of NSD  has provided the full list of LGBT delegates, alternates and pages.

See the full list (converted to HTML) below the fold.
Through the organization's "Pride in the Party" program to identify and train potential delegate candidates, Stonewall worked with state Democratic parties and presidential campaigns to ensure that all parties were actively organizing among the LGBT community regarding their participation in the delegate selection process.

Stonewall Democrats includes names reported by the Secretary's Office of the Democratic National Committee, along with 31 identified by Stonewall Democrats in its audit of the state lists. NSD expects its findings to be reconciled with the final number reported by the Secretary's office.

NOTE: The original spreadsheet -- with the color-coding and full breakdown -- is here (PDF).
