AID5 Center of Cueens County

Ca||en Lorde Commun|ty nea|th Center

Callen-Lorde's grassroots heritage dates back over 40 years to the St. Mark's Community Clinic and the Gay
Men's Health Project, two volunteer-based clinics that provided screening and treatment for sexually-
transmitted diseases. These clinics merged in 1983 to form Community Health Project, a mostly volunteer-
staffed, episodic care program housing the nation's first community-based HIV clinic.

In 1998, Community Health Project moved to a new location and changed its name to Callen-Lorde
Community Health Center. Located in Manhattans Chelsea district and sprawling over 27,000-square feet,
Callen-Lorde is a modern, state-of-the-art health center and remains the New York metropolitan areas only
facility targeting the healthcare needs of the LGBT communities and people living with HIV/AIDS.

Callen-Lorde Community Health Center provides sensitive, quality health care and related services primarily
to New York's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities -- in all their diversity -- regardless of
ability to pay. To further this mission, Callen-Lorde promotes health education and wellness and advocates for
gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender health issues.

Community Health Action of Staten Island (formerly the Staten Island AIDS Task Force), a 501(c)3 non-profit
community-based organization, educates Staten Islanders about HIV and AIDS and advocates for HIV-
positive people. We work to prevent the spread of HIV, and to identify and serve the needs of Staten Islanders
living with HIV/AIDS, their families and all others affected by this disease.

Over the years, our services have expanded to serve other communities that were historically most impacted
by AIDS. We have developed health educational and social programs for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender communities in the borough. We also operate a job counseling program for family members of
our primary clients, a food bank for the general community, and a medically-supervised outpatient treatment
program for persons dealing with active drug or alcohol use.

GMHC is the worlds first and leading provider of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and advocacy. Building on
decades of dedication and expertise, we understand the reality of HIV/AIDS and empower a healthy life for all.

In 1981, six men united against fear and death from a disease then known as the Gay Mens Health Crisis.
The group set up an answering machine in the home of Rodger McFarlane and the first AIDS hotline was
born receiving over 100 calls the first night. Today, GMHC continues to pioneer HIV prevention, care and
advocacy.

Gay and Lesb|an Aff|rmat|ve sychotherapy (GLA)

Gay and Lesbian Affirmative Psychotherapy (GLAP), a division of The Institute for Contemporary
Psychotherapy (ICP), was founded in 1997 with a two-fold mission: to offer affordable, affirmative
psychoanalytic psychotherapy to members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ)
communities; and to sensitize and educate mental health professionals providing treatment.

We have succeeded on both fronts. While GLAP has made an incalculable difference in the lives of LGBTQ
New Yorkers, we have continued to improve the quality of mental health services available to these
individuals by training gay-affirmative psychotherapists in weekly case supervision with master clinicians.

The Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP) works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their
gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination,
or violence. SRLP is a collective organization founded on the understanding that gender self-determination is
inextricably intertwined with racial, social and economic justice. Therefore, we seek to increase the political
voice and visibility of low-income people and people of color who are transgender, intersex, or gender non-
conforming. SRLP works to improve access to respectful and affirming social, health, and legal services for
our communities. We believe that in order to create meaningful political participation and leadership, we must
have access to basic means of survival and safety from violence.

TLDEF is committed to ending discrimination based upon gender identity and expression and to achieving
equality for transgender people through public education, test-case litigation, direct legal services, community
organizing and public policy efforts.

TLDEFs in-house legal program brings test-case litigation with wide impact in all areas of transgender civil
rights. From fighting employment discrimination to ensuring equal access to health care, we're working
tirelessly for transgender equal rights. We continually seek to leverage our limited resources through
innovative programs designed to harness the resources of the private bar for the public good. Our Name
Change Project, which provides free and low-cost legal name changes to community members through
partnerships with some of New York City's premier law firms, including Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, Davis Polk
& Wardwell LLP, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, and others, is one such program. And our community organizing
project, the Transgender Health Initiative of New York, harnesses the power of community participation to
improve access to care for transgender people.

Long Is|and GL81 5erv|ces Network

Long Island's GLBT community is afforded a broad range of services through a unique collaborative effort of
three organizations - Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth (LIGALY), the Long Island GLBT Community Center
(The Center), and Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders - Long Island (SAGE-LI).

These three organizations comprise a multitude of services and programs that aim to provide safe spaces for
GLBT people of all ages to find support and develop positive peer networks, increase individual health of
GLBT people, and to reduce homophobia and transphobia in our communities. In working together, each
organization is able to share resources, and thus reduce overhead costs and expenses. Each organization
shares administration, programming space, and fundraising efforts making for an efficient system, and
ensuring the money raised through grants, donations, and special events are maximized providing the
greatest benefit to all of Long Island's GLBT community.

From youth social programming to senior support, from programs for GLBT families to counseling and
advocacy, and from advocating for marriage to training providers on how to be sensitive to our needs, there is
one community and a network of services.

Gay Lesb|an and 5tra|ght Lducat|on Network

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network strives to assure that each member of every school
community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.

We believe that such an atmosphere engenders a positive sense of self, which is the basis of educational
achievement and personal growth. Since homophobia and heterosexism undermine a healthy school climate,
we work to educate teachers, students and the public at large about the damaging effects these forces have
on youth and adults alike. We recognize that forces such as racism and sexism have similarly adverse
impacts on communities and we support schools in seeking to redress all such inequities.

GLSEN seeks to develop school climates where difference is valued for the positive contribution it makes in
creating a more vibrant and diverse community. We welcome as members any and all individuals, regardless
of sexual orientation, gender identity/expression or occupation, who are committed to seeing this philosophy
realized in K-12 schools.

gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) health care professionals. GLMA was founded in 1981 as the
American Association of Physicians for Human Rights with the mission of ensuring equality in health care for
LGBT individuals and health care professionals. Today, there is still considerable ignorance about LGBT
health issues, with many assuming that LGBT health involves only HIV/AIDS. In fact, the full scope of the
LGBT health agenda includes breast and cervical cancer, hepatitis, mental health, substance abuse, tobacco
use, depression, access to care for transgender persons, and other concerns.

Service, and other U.S. offices and agencies with foreign affairs components.

GLIFAA works to secure full parity for gay and lesbian personnel and their families in U.S. foreign affairs
agencies serving in the United States and overseas. We seek to break down the continued barriers that gay
and lesbian foreign service, civil service, and contract employees -- and their partners and children --
