HIV Travel Ban: Adios

The Senate just passed the repealment of the HIV Travel Ban. This means that immigrants who have HIV and who are legally living in the U.S. will be able to apply for citizenship. The U.S. was one of the few nations in the West who still upheld the ban. Andrew Sullivan (who has been barred from being a U.S. citizen because of his HIV status) has a post about it here.

Congrats to Andrew and everyone else who will be joining the rest of us as U.S. citizens.
