We mourn the loss of our co-founder & hero Larry Kramer. He was an extraordinary activist & inspiration to us all. He saved the lives of thousands of ppl affected by HIV/AIDS. He was a revolutionary who challenged the status quo. His legacy will live on.

BREAKING: I just signed legislation giving veterans who were denied honorable discharge due to their LGBTQ identity the right to have their NYS benefits restored.
With this measure we are sending a message to LGBTQ veterans that we have their backs, just as they had ours.

Today is #InternationalPronounsDay.
An individual’s desired pronoun opens the possibility to diverse gender expression and existence, as well as normalizing gender non-binarism.
Using a person’s chosen pronouns is the first step toward respecting their desire to be themselves.

Contact tracing is one of the best interventions we have to sustain the response to #COVID19 in NY.
It cannot be done effectively if communities are afraid of law enforcement or ICE obtaining their information.
@NYGovCuomo please sign the Contact Tracing Confidentiality bill!
OPINION | We can never reclaim the days squandered in early March, nor the lives lost. But we can learn the lessons offered by the first wave and ensure we do not repeat those mistakes.

The Stonewall Rebellion was a riot against police violence. Trans & gender non-conforming POC have been terrorized by NYPD under the #WalkingWhileTrans Ban for being who they are.
@NYGovCuomo @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins bring the bill to a vote, pass and sign it into law!
It’s official: A majority of the @NYSenate has signed on to co-sponsor our legislation repealing the #WalkingWhileTrans ban.
The fight continues. Now, we need to get it to floor of the Senate and Assembly.
