HIV/AIDS is an issue that impacts everyone, and affects our communities and the City as a whole. By doing all of these “to do” items, each and everyone of us is truly doing our part to minimize the impact of this disease and create a better tomorrow for everyone. Will you join me in committing to this HIV to do list?
Late last year the Associated Press (AP) Style Guide, made the decision to ban the use of the word, homophobia as imprecise, yet when it comes to Antonin Scalia, the word is right on the mark as expressed here in this recent quote:

Freedom to Marry is live blogging today from the US Supreme Court. You can bookmark this link to be able to tune in throughout the day for updates.

We will not achieve Marriage Equality in PA by the SCOTUS decision to be handed down later this year. We will end this discrimination in our state by continuing to build a coalition of individuals who demand that everyone is treated equally.
On Monday 26th, the evening before the US Supreme Court begins to hear oral arguments in the two same-sex marriage cases, Pittsburgh communities of Faith will join together to pray in support of marriage equality. While the issue before the court is about civil rights, the main opponents against marriage equality claim religion as their basis. So, it is important that people of Faith who support marriage equality are visible and vocal.
