I just wrote a piece for Chicago's Windy City Times on the interlinked issues of Gay Dollars, the links between labor organizers and LGBT politics, and economic boycotts. All of these are, of course, tied to the recent upheavals around Prop 8 and gay marriage. As some of you know, I've been thinking, researching, and writing about these connections for a while now. I'm especially interested in looking at the link between organized labor and LGBT politics for a future piece. An excerpt from the piece and link to the full piece are after the jump. As always, comments and questions are welcome!
