(Sacramento, USA) - Bob Hattoy, who in 1992 became the first openly gay man to address a political convention in prime time when Bill Clinton asked him to deliver a speech at the Democratic National Convention in New York City, died over the weekend in Sacramento. Hattoy was a tireless activist for gay and HIV-related causes as well as the ACLU and Sierra Club. Here's a great piece that was written for the L.A. Times less than two weeks before his speech at the Democratic Convention, and about one month after he learned he had AIDS.
