But what gnaws at her, she says, is the fear of being labeled a token who was hired because of her sexual identity rather than on her merits."Being the first sucks," she told ABC News.com. "I'd rather not be the first but someone has to be first, or among the first. I think I'm experienced and very well qualified to deal with anything that might show up because I've broken barriers at lots of other places and I always win people over with who I am and what I can do."
