Comment: The Zone has now become the largest gay dance club in Erie. We feature a great game room with a pinball machine, 2 dart games, a megatouch video game, a fun bowling game, and 2 pool tables. The Zone also features an upper patio deck that offers a more relaxed and quiet place to sit and talk. We also have a great menu of finger foods to choose from to satisfy your hunger! The main bar area features a very large bar and great bartenders to quickly serve you a great drink. The back area of the bar features another bar open on the weekends to handle the crowds. The main dance floor is large and spacious and features some great light shows. Our powerful sound system will play all the best Top 40, Urban, R&B, Disco, 80s, and of course gay Dance Music Hits. We offer a great set of music every day to please everyone.

Comment: The Division of Tobacco Prevention and Control is a division within the Pennsylvania Department Of Health. We are responsible for leading and coordinating strategic efforts aimed at preventing tobacco use among youth, promoting smoking cessation among youth and adults, protecting nonsmokers from environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and eliminating tobacco-related health disparities.

Our Division accomplishes these goals by

• expanding the science base of tobacco control
• building capacity to conduct tobacco control programs.
• communicating information to constituents and the public.
• facilitating concerted action with and among partners.

To accomplish these goals, Pennsylvania has set out to implement the first statewide comprehensive tobacco-use prevention program. Some of our state level initiatives are: a telephone quitline, efforts to counter tobacco marketing, surveillance of tobacco sales to minors, promotion of clinical-practice guidelines for assessment and treatment of tobacco addiction, and program evaluation.

Comment: The Pitt Men's Study (PMS) is a confidential research study of the natural history of HIV/AIDS, funded by the National Institutes of Health that has been ongoing in Pittsburgh since 1984.

The Pitt Men's Study is part of a national study, the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) with sites in Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore as well as Pittsburgh, and is led by medical and social scientists. It is part of the Department of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology in the Graduate School of Public Health of the University of Pittsburgh. Participants are seen in a free standing clinic dedicated to this research project. If you have any questions about the study, please feel free to call and speak confidentially with one of our clinic staff at 412-624-2008 or 1-800-987-1963.

Comment: Originally incorporated on July 17, 1996 as a spin-off of the Lambda Foundation, the Delta Foundation was created as a non-profit organization for the purposes of uniting and fostering good fellowship and social interaction among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents in the metropolitan Pittsburgh area. After hosting a number of Memorial Day picnics in North Park and boat rides on the three rivers, the organization went dormant for several years.

In late 2006, a different group of interested LGBT business owners and citizens came together with the idea of energizing Pittsburgh's LGBT social scene and raising some funds for a good cause to boot.

Comment: The GLBT National Help Center is a non- profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to meeting the needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community and those questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity. We are an outgrowth of the Gay & Lesbian National Hotline, which began operating in 1996 and is now a primary program of the GLBT National Help Center. We offer several different programs including two national hotlines that help people talk about the important issues that they are facing in their lives. People call us from all across America. Most of our calls are from small towns in rural, conservative parts of the country, where many of our callers just don't feel safe yet going anywhere and talking to someone face-to-face. Many of our callers talk to us about things that they've often kept bottled up inside for years. Our callers know that we will show them compassion and respect. The GLBT National Help Center also helps other organizations build the infrastructure they need to provide strong support to our community at the local level.

Comment: Emmy Award-winning documentary Out in the Silence captures the remarkable chain of events that unfold when the announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilson's wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy in his small Pennsylvania hometown. Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson's journey dramatically illustrates the universal challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the transformation that is possible when those who have long been constrained by a traditional code of silence summon the courage to break it.
