Sometimes people in the party let us gays fall to the wayside so that they can keep their jobs.

The deposition given last month by Democratic Party chair Howard Dean shed some ugly light on longtime operative Donna Brazile, who headed up Al Gore’s 2000 election and is a regular political analyst on CNN.

Dean admitted it was Brazile who objected most strenuously to a proposal put forward by gay Democrats to add GLBT delegates to affirmative action guidelines states follow when selecting those who attend the party’s national convention:

Dean said some “influential individuals” within the DNC Black Caucus, such as Donna Brazile, opposed the plan because it was seen as “an affront to the civil rights movement.”

Brazile, who chairs the DNC’s Voting Rights Institute, declined to comment for this article.

As a South Asian-American, I resent your casual use of “the exotic” to try to make a point, and find your reference misinformed and tacky.

And as an openly gay DNC employee, I can assure you that my GLBT co-workers and I have always been treated as family and part of the team.

In other words, the little boy was hired to do one job, but he wanted to do a different job and he cried and stomped his feet until Uncle Howard said he could help out a little bit with the AMP. But the temper tantrums kept coming and the little boy would barge into other people’s staff meetings. You see, he wasn’t an employee with a job to do. He was DONALD — the precious little child.

Behavior like that wouldn’t be tolerated for a day with any other employer. Dean’s biggest wrong was that he pampered this infant for far too long.
