Pride Journeys: Houston
Throughout my career as a travel journalist thus far, I have been to Texas about a dozen times for both work and pleasure. However, the one city I never visited until recently was Houston. I quickly noticed that each Texas metropolis has its own flavor. Houston is no different. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the city, which is home to a great mix of art, music and LGBT culture

Lambda Legal & OutServe-SLDN Ask Court to Stop Pentagon from Discharging HIV-Positive Service Members

(Alexandria, VA. July 19, 2018) – Today, Lambda Legal and OutServe-SLDN, along with pro bono counsel from Winston & Strawn LLP, asked a federal court to halt implementation of a new Department of Defense policy resulting in the discharge of service members living with HIV. The motion for a preliminary injunction filed in Harrison v. Mattis-a case challenging the military's discriminatory policies governing the enlistment, deployment, and promotion of service members living with HIV-follows multiple calls from other service members that plaintiffs' attorneys received after his case was filed in May. These service members are being denied significant career advancement opportunities or threatened with discharge due to President Trump's new "Deploy or Get Out!" policy. Left unaddressed, hundreds of service members who are otherwise fit for duty, including named-plaintiff Sgt. Nick Harrison, will be discharged from the military, suffer irrevocable harm to their careers, and lose critical health care and other benefits.

The facts of LGBT discrimination

This week, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney won a major court case that will most likely make its way to the U.S. Supreme Court and affects our community more than the super-hyped wedding-cake case. And guess what? Almost no one noticed the significance of this major turn of events, but with much higher stakes, not only for you, but especially for religious organizations. Why does it loom large, with billions in tax dollars? Yes, we've reached a new stage of our struggle, where discrimination against LGBT people could cost billions - that's billions, with a B - of dollars to those who discriminate, or it could legalize discrimination.

The Beginning of Pride

From Philadelphia Gay News: As we go to press, I'm preparing to travel for my last of four speaking gigs this June, all for Pride month. There are various reasons why groups ask me to speak during Pride month. Some are familiar with my column or writings; others want me to speak about publishing in the LGBT community; still others, a point of LGBT history I've been personally involved with. But I'm sure that very few know that when they ask me to speak, especially during Pride month, I'm going to speak about organizing that very first Pride, since what most of them don't know is I was a part of that, and a death this past week just before New York's Gay Pride made me think a lot about what Pride stands for.
