Celebrating The End Of The HIV Ban

By The Daily Dish
Nov 19 2008, 1:14 AM ET

It isn't gone yet, but the Congressional and legislative hard work to repeal the U.S.'s anachronistic ban on HIV-positive tourists and immigrants deserves to be honored. So I'm hosting a fundraiser to thank Senators John Kerry and Gordon Smith (a Republican who deserved to be re-elected and wasn't) at my place on World AIDS Day, December 1. The event will raise money for Immigration Equality, the group primarily responsible for the repeal, that has now opened a new office in DC to advance the cause of equal treatment for gay and straight couples in immigration law.

My place is a loft, and space is limited, so there's a $1,000 minimum. But it's for a great cause that many of you supported earlier this year with emails and online activism. If you'd like to come, email Win Chesson. His email address is wchesson@immigrationequality.org. This battle for equality is still barely begun. Helping one of the most effective and resourceful groups is one way to help win it.
