Whitman-Walker stands with so many across the LGBTQ+ community as we mourn the loss and honor the life of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, the freedom fighter and trans elder who dedicated her life to advocating for all trans people. ๐Ÿ’—

Indeed, just like our Dr. Stephen Abbott says below, we are seeing incredible strides in preventing HIV through the use of PrEP! It reduces the risk of getting HIV by at least 99% when taken as prescribed. More info here: www.whitman-walker.org/health-servi...

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again.

It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFKโ€™s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. Heโ€™s Alex Jones in a suit.
