WNYLaborToday.com Editor’s Note: This Labor Column was authored by Dan Gabor, the leader of the AFL-CIO’s Professional Staff, represented by the Washington-Baltimore News Guild (The NewsGuild (TNG)-Communications Workers of America (CWA) 32035).  Elected unanimously in August 2018 as the first openly Gay Leader of the Staff Union, Gabor hopes to work in partnership with AFL-CIO Management to follow through on promises to eradicate racism, sexism, homophobia, discrimination and hate - not only at the AFL-CIO, but in the Labor Movement at large.  To Directly Access This Labor Column, Go To: www.peoplesworld.org/article/were-here-were-queer-and-were-union/
