The White House will host a LGBT conference on HIV/AIDS in Atlanta today.

The conference is part of a series of events hosted by the White House specifically for LGBT Americans. The conference will be hosted by the White House Office of Public Engagement and Office of National AIDS Policy in partnership with the Morehouse School of Medicine.

The White House says that participants “will receive important updates from senior administration officials and have the opportunity to learn about Federal government resources and opportunities through workshop sessions.”
