ABC Metalworkers launch LGBT+ Commission at union headquarters

Launch featured councilwoman Duda Hidalgo and performance by singer Carla Rangell

The ABC Metalworkers officially launched the LGBTQIAPN+ Commission at an event held on the morning of last Saturday, the 29th, at the union headquarters. The initiative aims to promote equality and inclusion within the category. The event was attended by councilwoman Duda Hidalgo, the first openly LGBT member of the Ribeirão Preto City Council, and an artistic performance by trans singer Carla Rangell.

The president of the Union, Moisés Selerges, praised the creation of the Commission and highlighted love as fundamental to the success of the working class project. “Love liberates, love is revolutionary. It is the most important basis for achieving our project, which is to be happy. Welcome, congratulations to the Commission,” said Selerges.

“For us, this launch is a great honor”

The coordinator of the collectives, Andrea de Sousa, known as Nega, emphasized the importance of the committee as a tool in the fight for equality and democracy. She highlighted the hard work and collaboration of metalworkers in making this project a reality, and asked for the participation of the entire category. “For us, this launch is a great honor. We are counting on you to take this dialogue to the factory. It is not a question of sexual orientation, it is a question of respect for human beings,” she stated.

“We don’t want anything but bad things to be in the closet”
Arthur França, a worker at Otis, was chosen as the coordinator of the new committee. He shared his personal experience of coming out as gay and highlighted the historical importance of the LGBTQIA+ movement. “We made a point of holding our inauguration in June, Pride Month. We no longer want you, LGBT people who are in the factory, to feel alone. We are here, we have a committee. From the moment you mess with one of you, you mess with all of us,” said França.

Councilwoman Duda Hidalgo explained the origin of the expression “Coming out of the closet” and emphasized the importance of respect. “We don’t want anything other than bad things to be in the closet, so that everyone has the right to live, the right to life, the right to love in the way that makes them feel good. And it is everyone’s duty to show respect, not only for the ABC Metalworkers, but for the entire society,” declared Hidalgo.
