There is a transgender emergence happening in Chicago. After generations of struggle, transgender men and women are becoming more visible, integrated and finding new admirers gay, straight and everywhere in between. And yet the struggle continues.

To help inform AFC’s 2012 strategic plan, AFC Director of Prevention Advocacy and Gay Men's Health Jim Pickett interviewed Dr. Ron Stall, Professor and Chair of the Department of Behavioral and Community Health Sciences in the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, a leading HIV prevention expert.

Institutionalized discrimination, bullying, increasing HIV rates andlegal inequality are symptoms of the same disorder: homophobia.When others attack and hate on the LGBT community, creating a climate where our very lives are at stake, we have an individual and collective responsibility to fight back.
