GLAD Receives Belynda Dunn Award of Recognition
GLAD was honored to receive the 2008 Belynda Dunn Award at the annual Bayard Rustin Community Breakfast, in recognition of groundbreaking legal work securing rights and protections for people with HIV/AIDS.
In 2001, GLAD represented AIDS activist Belynda Dunn in her quest to get her private insurer to pay for a liver transplant.
The Bayard Rustin Community Breakfast is an annual forum created by the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts to recognize the roles of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people from communities of color in the fight against the AIDS epidemic.
