own decisions.
Joel Craig, an 18-year-old delegate from
Colorado Springs, Colo.,and pledged to Sen.
Ted Cruz (R-Texas), said he supports platform
language in opposition to the Supreme
Courts decision on same-sex marriage
because states should be allowed to choose
what their denition of marriage is.
I think that this is a deal for the states,
Craig said. The states are in charge of
issuing marriage licenses, why then are
they not in charge of how the marriage
licenses are issued?
Not every delegate at the convention
was behind the anti-LGBT planks in the
Republican Party platform.
Sharon Jackson, a 52-year-old delegate
from the Anchorage area of Alaska and
pledged to Trump, said shes against the
platform language and thinks same-sex
couples should be able to wed.
I feel that everyone should have the
freedom to feel and do what they choose,
and thats what America is all about,
Jackson said.
LGBT advocates blasted the platform
upon its ratication by delegates. The Log
Cabin Republicans, which had previously
dubbed the platform the most anti-LGBT
in the partys 162-year history, placed a
full-page ad Monday in USA Today with
amessage denouncingthe document.
LOSERS! MORONS! SAD! No, these
arent tweets from Donald Trump, the
ad says. This is what common-sense
conservatives are saying about the most
anti-LGBT platform the Republican Party
has ever had. Out of touch, out of line, and
out of step with61% of young Republicans
who favor same-sex marriage.
For a time, eorts among pro-LGBT
Republicans were underway for a
motion on the convention oor to strip
the platform of its anti-LGBT language.
A minority report signed by 37 delegates
of the platform committee petitioned the
Republican National Committee to replace
the platformwith a 1,200-word statement
of 17 core principles of the Republican Party
with neutral language on LGBT issues.
Although only 28 delegates are needed
for a successful petition, the eorts
failed when the delegates who initiated
the report Boyd Matheson of Utah
andDavid Barton of Texas disavowed it.
Annie Dickerson, a New York member
of the platform committee and adviser
to GOP philanthropist and LGBT rights
supporter Paul Singer, said the goal now
is to advance LGBT non-discrimination
legislation regardless of the platform.
Polling on non-discrimination is
going o the charts on the Republican
side, Dickerson said. But those are just
not the people that were those delegates,
which is why Gio and I are here, to give rise
to that voice, so we can be a bigger tent
because this is not the Big Tent document.

Myth #4: Are you obligated to leave money to your relatives? No way.
SEVEN MYTHS OF ESTATE PLANNING
by Lawrence S. Jacobs
This is the fourth in a series of seven articles to
help you understand what you do know, dont
know and should know about estate planning.
It is a flat-out myth that you are
required to include relatives in your Will.
The confusion arises because of what
happens if you die without a valid Will.
In that case, there are rules that put your
relatives at the top of the list to receive
your assets. If you are single or your
spouse is not alive, and you dont have
children, then your parents, siblings or
even cousins are generally the next in
line. The law does not care whether
you have a good relationship with those
biological family members, or whether
they need the money, or whether the
money could do more good elsewhere.
But the good news is that if your create

MELANIA TRUMP delivered a speech Monday that was condemned for its plagiarizing of
Michelle Obamas speech to the Democratic National Convention in 2008.

Former New York City Mayor RUDY GIULIANI speaks at the Republican National Convention in

WASHINGTON BLADE PHOTO BY MICHAEL KEY
their party just adopted the most antiLGBT platform in history, Helmstetter
said. Not enough fog machines in the
world exist to hide the discrimination and
divisiveness at the RNC this week.
Another speaker on Monday was Willie
Robertson, CEO of Duck Commander and
star of A&Es hit series Duck Dynasty,
which is known for stars who hold
anti-LGBT views. Although Robertson
didnt say anything anti-LGBT during his
remarks, his show was once cancelled
after co-star Phil Robertson decried
homosexuality as a sin.
Melania Trump, wife of presumptive
nominee Donald Trump, was the
highlighted speaker of the evening.
Despite Trumps reputation for running a
campaign based on demonizing minority
groups, Melania Trump insisted he would
be an inclusive leader as president.
Donald intends to represent all of the
people, not just some of the people,
Melania Trump said. That includes
Christians, Jews and Muslims. It includes
Hispanics and African Americans and
Asians and the poor and the middle class.
As rst noticed on Twitter by Los
Angeles-based Jarrett Hill, large portions
of Melania Trumps speech seemed to
have been lifted from rst lady Michelle
Obamas speech during the 2008
Democratic National Convention.
Also on Monday, the Never Trump
movement, which sought to deprive
Trump of the Republican presidential
nomination, seems to have met its end
after the delegates approved the rules as
written by the Rules Committee.
Republican opponents of Trump were
seeking a conscience clause allowing
delegates to select a nominee of their choice
as opposed to being forced to vote for Trump,
which didnt make it into the nal rules.
Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.), presiding
as chair, sought a voice vote twice on
accepting the rules but after the second
vote, determined the ayes had won. A
brief oor ght ensued in which delegates
alternately chanted, U-S-A! U-S-A! and
Trump! Trump! Trump!
A Utah delegate sought a roll-call vote.
Although nine states initially supported it,
Womack said some delegates withdrew
support and only six states had valid
requests. Seven were necessary.
Christian Berle, a gay D.C. delegate
pledged to Ohio Gov. John Kasich and a
proponent of the Never Trump eort,
said the delegates decision to accept the
rules as proposed is very disappointing.
There are a large degree of delegates
from across the country who believe that
the rules report should have included a
conscience clause in particular to allow
delegates to support who they fully
believe should run the party and run the
country, Berle said.

This years Baltimore Pride will feature a youth area beginning at 4 p.m.
WASHINGTON BLADE FILE PHOTO BY MICHAEL KEY
As the Baltimore Pride parade winds down and the block party begins on
Saturday afternoon, there will be a special area set aside specically for LGBT
youth. This area, which had previously been known as the Youth Zone, is now
called Youth Pride and will take place beginning at 4 p.m. at Charles and Read
Streets.
Youth Pride is co-sponsored by the GLBT Community Center of Baltimore
(GLCCB) and STAR TRACK (Special Teens At-Risk Together Reaching Access, Care,
& Knowledge) and is the culmination of other youth-focused events during the
week leading up to Pride.
Every year over the past six years, STAR TRACK has planned youth and young
adult specic events during the week of Baltimore Pride, providing a safe space
to connect, have a good time and celebrate our communities, M. Blair Franklin,
HIV prevention program manager at STAR TRACK, told the Blade. This year
events included a Gay Skate, our Annual Ball, and a panel discussion from the
black and Latinx communities about the impact of the Orlando shootings at
Pulse, and of course, Baltimore Youth Pride.
STAR TRACK has been serving the Baltimores LGBTQ youth and young adults,
ages 12 to 26, since 1989 by oering outreach, education and prevention
services to youth, young adults, and their communities. Activities include health
education programs, peer trainings, teen leadership events, prevention services
(individual and group), health promotion campaigns, an HIV prevention hotline,
free and anonymous HIV testing services, an interactive teen health website, and
community mobilization.
The STAR TRACK Adolescent Health Program at the University of Maryland
Baltimore has worked with the LGBTQ community since its inception to provide
safe and client-centered comprehensive healthcare to young people, Jamal
Hailey, director of programs, told the Blade. STAR TRACK made a commitment
long ago to keep the needs of the LGBTQ community at the forefront of our work
and has consistently employed members from the community as a part of our
eorts.

WASHINGTON A new CDC study nds that the use of injection drugs contributes to
higher HIV rates for gay and bi male teens in the U.S. as opposed to riskier sexual practices
compared to their straight counterparts, STAT, a health publication, reports.
Researchers found no signicant dierences in the number of sexually active teens,
condom use or partner number between males of dierent sexual orientations. However,
gay and bisexual male teenagers were more than ve times more likely to use injected
drugs. Because this is the rst time those questions were asked, theres no way to know
the way sexual activity and drug use have been changing over time, STAT reports.
Men who have sex with men are 57 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV than
straight men. The questions were included in the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey last
year, administered to high school students.
We were most surprised and concerned about the very high rates of injected drug use,
which are further compounding their risk for HIV infection, said Laura Kann, chief of the
School-Based Surveillance Branch within CDCs Division of Adolescent and School Health.
The ndings were presented last week at the International AIDS Conference in Durban,
South Africa, STAT reports.
Gay and bisexual male teens were also more likely to abuse other controlled
substances, including prescription drugs.
Despite the increased drug usage, Kann said most HIV infections in male teens who
have sex with men occur during sex, STAT reports.
NAIROBI A daily dose of anti-HIV medication almost eradicates the risk of infection
for people in a relationship with an HIV-positive partner, a study presented this week in
Africa showed, raising hopes of reducing HIV rates among one of Africas highest risk
groups, Reuters reports.
More than 1,000 Kenyan and Ugandan couples took part in the two-year project where
the HIV positive partner, two-thirds of whom were women, took antiretroviral therapy

trans or homeless.
The queer community historically has
been harassed by police. The Stonewall
riots, considered the start of the modern queer rights movement, were a response to a police raid on the bar. In the
1950s, gay men were arrested for looking too feminine and queer women were
stopped by police for looking too masculine. Today, queer people, especially, of
color and trans, continue to be unfairly
treated by (some) police. Discrimination and harassment by law enforcement
based on sexual orientation and gender
identity is an ongoing and pervasive problem in LGBT communities, according to a
2015 Williams Institute report.
Given the unjust way that police have
often treated LGBT people, its hard to
understand why some in our community dont support Black Lives Matter. I
wouldnt presume to speak for people of
color or to say I know what its like to be
black and racially proled by a police ocer. I dont have kids, but if I did I wouldnt
have to have the talk that African-American parents have to have with their kids
about interacting with law enforcement.

How long have you been out and who
was the hardest person to tell?
Ive been ocially out to the world since
age 16. It wasnt very hard to tell anyone.
I had no doubts about my identity
and have always enjoyed a supportive
network of friends and family. Luckily for
me, coming out was easy.
