We're all excited about Wanda Sykes's election special New Now Next Vote With Wanda Sykes, scheduled to air on Monday, Sept. 10 on Logo at 10 p.m., and we may be getting a taste of what to expect from Sykes in this promotional interview with MSNBC's Thomas Roberts.

Sykes stopped by to chime in on this past week's Democratic National Convention and to get us hyped up for Monday's special!

Check out her interview with the yummy Mr. Roberts after the jump.

Mary J. Blige has long supported HIV/AIDS causes and praised her gay fans, but her position on marriage equality wasn't exactly clear, at least not until Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention. 

So, what does the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul" have to say about same-sex marriage?

The 2012 Democratic National Convention will go down in history for being the first major political gathering in American history to wholly embrace LGBT equality. A compilation video showcasing every mention of LGBT rights at the DNC (courtesy of the HRC) reminds us why. Follow the jump to watch. 

After slaying everyone at last night's Democratic National Convention, First Lady Michelle Obama spoke this afternoon at a luncheon hosted by the Human Rights Council and the Victory Fund.

Nearly 500 guest were in attendance as Obama targeted her message towards the LGBT community. 

What did she have to say? Read her full speech after the jump!

LGBT across the far reaches of the Internet are understandably fawning over First Lady Michelle Obama's empowering and tear-jerking opening night speech on Tuesday in Charlotte. But a few other LGBT-laced addresses are worth pixelated headlines, too.

Check out how Jared Polis and out DNC Treasurer Andy Tobias rallied the troops (and watch Michelle's rousing call to support her hubby) after the jump!

Iowan activist Zach Wahls will kick his political career up yet another notch as a speaker at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night. Now, as an official opening act for President Obama's big headlining speech tomorrow night, is it too much to ask to see a Wahl's 2020 campaign??

Where's our invite?!

First Lady Michelle Obama will deliver the keynote address at a luncheon honoring LGBT delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday. More after the jump!

It's convention fever! With the Republican National Convention convening this week in Tampa, attention is also turning to the Democratic National Convention, which will be hosted in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sept. 4-6.

Using North Carolina as the site of the DNC has caused some uproar in the wake of North Carolina's passage of Amendment 1, which banned gay marriage and civil unions in the state earlier this year. 

Still, some are arguing that hosting the DNC in North Carolina will highlight the problems faced by the LGBT-community.

More after the jump.

The gay community will be represented by a record number of openly LGBT delegates at the Democratic National Convention. Just how many of us will substitute our rainbow flags for Obama banners on the floor of the convention in 10 days? 

The gays will play a role during the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina and it sounds like the execution of that role will be very specific.

We're curious to get your take on it. More after the jump!

Two co-chairs of President Obama’s re-election campaign are calling on the Democratic Party to man-up and officially add marriage equality to the Democratic Party platform.
