Leaders of the Democratic Party in Alameda County have decided to wait a month before taking up a bylaws change that would ban endorsement for anti-LGBTQIA+ candidates seeking elective office.
The Alameda County Democratic Central Committee, which sets policy for the local party, had been expected to take up the matter at its August 4 meeting.
But Andy Kelley, a gay man who is co-chair of the group's bylaws committee, wrote in an email to the Bay Area Reporter that he, committee co-chair Lance Kwan, and the other members had concerns with the draft proposal when they met August 3 ahead of the central committee meeting.
