AIDS

How to Survive a Plague has been nominated for Best Documentary at the 85th Academy Awards!

Opening in select theaters this weekend, How to Survive a Plague is an unflinching and powerfully moving look at how the activists behind groups like ACT UP forced the medical establishment into action following its tragically stunted response to the HIV/AIDS crisis. Now director David France talks to GLAAD about the film, and read on for your chance to win tickets to the film's New York premiere tomorrow night!

Today we remember GLAAD co-founder and LGBT and AIDS activist Vito Russo.

Yesterday, the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE), the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) released Injustice at Every Turn: A Look at Latino/a Respondents in the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, revealing that transgender Latino/a people face poverty, unemployment, homelessness, discrimination and violence at significantly higher rates than both the overall transgender population and the general population.

Today marks the 23rd anniversary of World AIDS Day, an international observance in support of those living with HIV/AIDS and in memory of the lives lost in the epidemic.

Last night, Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), a community-based organization committed to national leadership in the efforts against AIDS, hosted its fifth annual “Fashion Forward” event.
