National gay rights group recognizes an ally in the new DNC chairman

...For his part, Dean began his acceptance speech with the caveat that he was not speaking on behalf of the DNC. He then quickly launched into a crowd-pleasing talk that more than once prompted loud, spontaneous cheers.

“We measure the greatness of our society by how we treat those who have been outcast,” Dean said. “Will we now create a community that includes every American.”

He said the same attitudes that prevailed in the civil rights struggle of African Americans would ultimately prevail when it came to the equality of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered Americans.

“It’s impossible for a decent person to say that some people don’t deserve the same rights they enjoy,” Dean said. “And most Americans are decent people.”

The loudest applause was reserved for near the end when Dean did finally talk as the DNC chairman.
“We will defeat the party of deficits, divisiveness and dishonesty, piece by piece and vote by vote and we will build an America that stands for liberty and justice for all Americans,” he said.
