31 U.S Municipalities Trumpeting LGBT Equality
31 U.S Municipalities Trumpeting LGBT Equality
In this year’s Municipal Equality Index (MEI), 31 municipalities across the country earned a hat-tip for their high scores in states without supportive LGBT laws.
These cities are proving that they can ensure equality even in states that are lagging behind in enacting LGBT-inclusive laws and policies. New top-scoring cities this year include Louisville, Kentucky; Detroit, Michigan; and Bloomington, Indiana.
Cities that score above 85 without relying on good state law (non-discrimination) make the cut for MEI All-Stars
The 2015 MEI – which rated a total of 408 cities from every state in the nation — examines the laws, policies, and services of municipalities and rates them on the basis of their inclusivity of LGBT people who live and work there.

With Shkreli Gone, Will Turing Pharmaceuticals Restore Life-Saving Drug to Original Price?
With Shkreli Gone, Will Turing Pharmaceuticals Restore Life-Saving Drug to Original Price?
Following news today that Martin Shkreli has resigned as CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, HRC called on the drug maker’s interim CEO Ron Tilles to immediately reduce the cost of the life-saving drug Daraprim to its original price.
“We hope that Martin Shkreli’s departure will mark the end of Turing Pharmaceuticals’ reckless price hikes on life-saving medications,” said Olivia Alair Dalton, HRC’s Senior Vice President for Communications and Marketing. “Turing’s interim CEO Ron Tilles should immediately roll back the company’s unconscionable 5,000 percent price hike on Daraprim, a crucial treatment for many pregnant women and people living with HIV, and restore the drug to its original cost.”
Earlier this fall, at HRC’s urging, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman began investigating whether Turing Pharmaceuticals may have violated antitrust laws by limiting distribution of the drug. HRC also sent letters to Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Chair of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), Chair of the Committee on Energy and Commerce; and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), Chair of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, seeking an investigation into the unconscionable action of Turing Pharmaceuticals.
HRC continues its call to get to the bottom of whether Turing and Shkreli violated antitrust laws by limiting distribution of a drug that is essential to the lives of medically vulnerable people, including those living with HIV and pregnant women.
