At least Jim Graham is gay. The new Executive director at WWC is straight and doesn’t give a flying f**k about the gay community.

of course its the straights fault HIV infections are rising among gay men in DC. It couldnt possibly be the fault of the men who are having unprotected sex!
God forbid anyone take a hard look at WWC’s methods to see if maybe theyre not doing the best they can to lower HIV rates. I used to live in DC, and WWC was fine if you needed testing or free condoms, but they were so scared of seeming “judgmental” that they wouldnt call people on their risky behavior.
