For over a year now, we have been urging the DNC to hire a new Director of GLBT Outreach. Howard Dean has stated on more than one occasion that there are not plans to do so, but today I read in the New York Post that Corey Johnson will be coming to Washington DC to work on LGBT issues for the Democratic National Committee:

Corey Johnson, who was responsible for lining up political support for (Attorney General Candidate Mark) Green, will soon leave for a post at the Democratic National Committee. Green campaign strategist Hank Sheinkopf confirmed the departure, claiming Johnson "is going on to another part of his career," as a DNC gay-politics expert.

So what's up, exactly? If I had more time this morning I would investigate, but perhaps another blogger can pick up this story and find out more.
