DETAILS: Original vintage pinback button by the Gay and Lesbian Caucus of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

BACKGROUND 1984 was the first time that every major contenders for the Democratic Presidential nomination were, actively and openly seeking the votes and dollars of homosexuals. To commemorate this ground breaking arlier this year the Democratic National Committee established a Gay and Lesbian Caucus, and officials at the Republican National Committee so far have held two meetings with representatives of the party's six homosexual clubs.

''Human rights, and that includes gay rights, is no longer a debatable issue within the Democratic Party,'' said Ann Lewis, political director of the Democratic National Committee. ''Gays now have a track record in which they have worked in our campaigns and demonstrated what they have to offer to our party and the political process.''
