Black Enterprise in their June issue just ran an article about coming out in the workplace. Black Enterprise is a longstanding, highly respected African American business journal... And Essence magazine back in March did a story about an African American transgender woman. So I think our community is starting to open up and recognize that HIV/AIDS is a major issue and it really doesn't matter if people are straight or gay, we've got to deal with it — which means we need to embrace every part of our community. I'm not saying that that is happening on a full scale yet, but I think we're moving towards that.
