About 200 LGBTs and allies assembled at Woody’s Sept. 6 to watch President Barack Obama accept his party’s nomination for re-election at the Democratic National Convention. The event was sponsored by the local chapter of LGBT for Obama, which also celebrated the Democratic Party’s adoption of marriage equality into its platform. When the upstairs televisions were experiencing technical difficulties, drag performers on hand staged an impromptu show for the patrons, and local politicos like City Councilman Mark Squilla spoke about the need for the get-out-the-vote effort.
