October 20, 2017 compassq Comments Off on HIV nonprofits, “working myself out of a job.”

A phrase that is occasionally thrown around among health-related nonprofit professionals, particularly those working towards a disease cure, is the idea of “working myself out of a job,” or working toward a cure so the nonprofit is no longer needed. But what happens to the organization when a cure actually does emerge? Is it a clear-cut decision to wind down operations? #lgbt #gay #lesbian #bisexual #transgender #homophobia #Equality READ MORE HERE: https://nonprofitquarterly.org/2017/10/19/new-york-hiv-nonprofits-face-darwinian-questions/

October 20, 2017 compassq Comments Off on Montreal, a great place for LGBT travelers.

Montreal is one of the most gay-friendly cities we’ve been to in our travels. It’s famous for having a massive gay scene, with the largest gay village in the whole of North America. We loved it – more so because we felt comfortable holding hands in public pretty much anywhere here.#lgbt #gay #lesbian #bisexual #transgender #homophobia #Equality READ MORE HERE: http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/10/10/6-must-see-gay-highlights-of-montreal-for-lgbt-travellers/
