Queer the Census - Fill It Out!

Help the government expand services to the LGBT and HIV affected communities by filling out the census. This simple document enables the federal government and nonprofit organizations to better serve our communities.

Gay couples can be recognized as married to their spouse by specifying that their spouse is of the same-sex. Transgender people are encouraged to select their gender identification on the form.

Tell the CDC to Lift HIV Travel Ban

The plan by the federal government to lift a ban on HIV positive foreigners coming into the United States is close to being approved. If the ban is repealed it would allow people with HIV/AIDS to travel or apply for immigration within the country. Currently HIV testing is mandated for those requesting permanent residency, and in some instances the granting of a visa.

Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are seeking public comment through Aug. 17 on the proposal.
