I've posted in this forum many times on the GLBT issues. I don't often get many clicks or replies. I'm just wondering why?

MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota AFL-CIO has reserved a spot in the 2009 GLBT Pride Parade in downtown Minneapolis on Sunday, June 28, the federation announced.
“The number of union members marching in the labor contingency has grown each year, and the crowd lining the route enthusiastically responds to the sight of union members and union banners in the parade,” said Candace Lund, the federation’s mobilizing /organizing director.

The parade begins at 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 28, at 3rd Street and Hennepin Avenue. To participate, please contact Lund at 651-227-7647, e-mail clund@mnaflcio.org

If you are visiting the Pride Festival in Loring Park in Minneapolis on Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28, stop by the Minnesota AFL-CIO booth. on the west side of the park near the pond’s walk bridge. The festival runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days.

Not only because they're generally very supportive of equality, but because we're both solidly working class ourselves. Kudos to them!
