POTUS announced intentions to help combat rising flood of discriminatory rules and laws targeting LGBTQ+ communities and protect transgender children

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the world’s largest HIV and AIDS healthcare organization, thanks President Biden for his remarks at the White House Thursday denouncing the escalating number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills emerging nationwide and making clear his plans to support and protect targeted communities and transgender children.
