Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline will share the podium with Michelle Obama tomorrow night at a New York City gala for the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council.

The Democratic National Committee announced that the wife of the party’s presidential candidate, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, will deliver the keynote address at the bash, to be held in the Starlight Room of the Waldorf Astoria.

Also on the program will be Democratic Chairman Howard Dean and the First Lady of the Empire State, Michelle Paterson.

Cicilline, who is openly gay, is also the 2008 president of the National Conference of Democratic Mayors.
