The Mandarin Oriental Hotel's ballroom count continues to dwindle. Another advocacy group, the only national one for black LGBTs, will not have any representatives at that swiftly decomposing gay fundraiser for the DNC. Jason Bartlett, the National Black Justice Coalition's deputy director, told On Top Magazine:

Barlett, who is also a Connecticut state representative, confirmed no NBJC board member would attend the controversial event, but added that was not a formal endorsement of a DNC boycott.

"I don't know of any board members that are intending on going," Barlett said.

Former director Alexander Robinson is named in the infamous Andrew Tobias "10,400-sq.-foot spa" e-blast"; I have not heard whether he still intends on going. I did communicate with NBJC interim director Sylvia Rhue, who also confirmed that the organization has not taken a position on the boycott itself.
