A GOP Supreme Court will now decide the fate of transgender Americans
The legal question in United States v. Skrmetti is whether the word “all” means “all.” There’s no guarantee that this Court will say that it does.

Indeed, just like our Dr. Stephen Abbott says below, we are seeing incredible strides in preventing HIV through the use of PrEP! It reduces the risk of getting HIV by at least 99% when taken as prescribed. More info here: www.whitman-walker.org/health-servi...

Wow! Ok so I buy packs of random greeting cards at the thrift store so it’s an adventure…found a piece of local queer history in this one!

We have lost an incredible hero and absolute giant. Rest well now, Cornelius Baker. 🕯
Cornelius Baker has died at 63. He was a trailblazer advocating for people with HIV since the 1980s, including leading Whitman Walker Clinic in DC and being the Acting Deputy Coor at the State Department’s Office of Global AIDS Coordinator until 2017. RIP

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again.

It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.
