A new caucus within the College Democrats intends to focus on lesbian, bi, gay and transgender concerns, organizers said this week. Members of the caucus, which formed last week and is called MSU Stonewall Democrats, hope to unite LBGT and Democratic voters to benefit both sides. "Essentially it's an organization that tries to not only make the Democratic party better on LBGT issues, but to get the LBGT community involved," said Nathan Triplett, youth organizer of the Michigan Democratic Party and MSU College Democrats executive board member. The Stonewall Democrats is an LBGT Democratic organization which recently launched the Stonewall student network in an effort to promote organizations with a similar focus to campuses nationwide. The name Stonewall comes from the June 1969 Stonewall Rebellion in New York City, where LBGT bar patrons fought back after being thrown out of a gay bar.
