Human Rights Campaign Condemns Israeli LGBT Center Shooting
Late Saturday evening, during a youth meeting at the Aguda LGBT community center headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, a masked gunman opened fire on a teen support group, killing two and injuring at least 15 more. The two murdered youth were ages 17 and 26. Most teens who participate in the Aguda’Äôs youth support program do so because they have been ostracized by their families and faith community for their sexual orientation or gender identity making this attack all the more painful. The shooter has not yet been apprehended by Israeli police.

The Power Announces Endorsements of Major Don’Äôt Ask Don’Äôt Tell Opponents
After a week of upsets for opponents of Don’Äôt Ask Don’Äôt Tell (DADT), The Power (www.ThePowerOnline.org), an online campaign to include lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, announced new endorsements from Justin Elzie and David Mixner, two major figures in the debate over the policy. They join Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a vocal critic of DADT, who last month also endorsed The Power’Äôs campaign. The endorsements come after reports that the White House pressured Congressional law makers to table legislation that would have suspended enforcement of DADT and continue a pattern of LGBT activists, thwarted by White House delays, demanding full equality now.
