This issue should also be addressed on the federal level with the Equality Act. Either way, our community deserves the equal protections that both of these efforts would provide. Governor Wolf has been an incredible champion for LGBTQ Pennsylvanians, and today's executive order adds to his legacy of advancing protections for the LGBTQ community."

ALLENTOWN, PA - March 16, 2021 - In response to the vote by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives today on House Bill 103, the following statement is attributable to Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center executive director Adrian Shanker: "The PA House vote today for an unscientific and harmful bill that criminalizes perceived or potential exposure to HIV and Hepatitis B is evidence that some legislators ignore science in favor of their anti-LGBTQ opinions. HIV is not a crime, and HIV cannot be transmitted via saliva. House Bill 103 is dangerous and unscientific. I hope the Pennsylvania Senate is more level-headed than the House when it comes to science and civil rights."
