Here TV Network Screening Event
Here!TV partnered with The Cable Positive New York Chapter and The Gay and Lesbian Center of New York City on October 13th for a screening of the powerful documentary film “Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World.” The standing room only crowd heard from representatives of Here!, Cable Positive New York and AIDS Service Center. Filmmaker John Scagliotti (“After Stonewall”) was on hand for a Q & A after the film which examined the struggles, triumphs and determination of GLBT activists in the non-western world despite sometimes overwhelming prejudice, oppression and, all-too-often, life threatening violence.
Here!TV donated all proceeds of the evening to Cable Positive New York and The Gay and Lesbian Center.

Founded
in 1990, AIDS
Service Center (ASC) is a multi-service community
organization with a central mission of helping many, one by one.
AIDS Service Center offers sensitive and caring services for people
of color, women, families, active and recovering substance users,
and others living with or impacted by HIV/AIDS. We provide harm
reduction and health promotion initiatives; links to medical care
and appropriate housing; peer training and outreach services;
translation assistance and child care support; linkages to substance
abuse treatment; and much, much more. All services are free, confidential,
and English/Spanish bilingual. ASC’s services are provided
by a dedicated and experienced staff who reflect our diverse
client base in terms of languages spoken, ethnic and cultural
backgrounds, and life histories including people living with
HIV/AIDS, persons in recovery, lesbians and gay men, and longtime
members of the local community.
Established in 1992 by the Women and AIDS Working Group, Iris House is a social/health center serving HIV-positive women, men and their families in New York City. The mission of Iris House is to provide services to those infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS in a supportive and respectful environment. To fulfill this mission, Iris House offers practical, family-centered services that promote prevention and education while addressing the day-to-day realities of living with HIV/AIDS. Their goals are:
- To promote and support independent functioning for our clients, to improve quality of life, and to maintain optimum health status for clients and their families.
- To educate policy makers, elected officials, and human health service providers about the issues and concerns affecting our clients and their families.
