In the wake of Empire State Pride Agenda’s dissolution after same-sex marriage was passed, Gabriel Blau co-founded Equality New York, an advocacy group that carries the torch in the statewide fight for LGBT rights. During its Albany advocacy day, gay state Sen. Brad Hoylman held up Blau’s legislative platform and wryly proclaimed, “This is the gay agenda!” A former head of the Family Equality Council, Blau is currently enrolled in Columbia University’s executive MBA program.
