A gay man’s case against the Democratic National Committee moved toward trial last week when the organization’s appeal for summary judgment was rejected. D.C.

Mediation is slated to begin later this month. She also noted in her orders that DNC Chair Howard Dean would remain among the case’s defendants despite his separate request for summary judgment.Judge rejects summary judgment in DNC lawsuit * Tags = gay men ...
