Title: California Latino LGBT & HIV Service Center Evicted 48 Hours After Opening
Post by: Solo_LTSurvivor on September 14, 2012, 12:56:12 pm
Bienestar, an organization serving Southern California's Latino LGBT, HIV-positive and at-risk communities, was evicted from its new Van Nuys offices two days after opening. The landlord allegedly told the organization they were "bringing disease" to the building.

Staggering.  I couldn't believe this!

Might like to sign this causes page: https://www.causes.com/actions/1680029

More information can also be read on the Bienestar website.

Disgusting!!!  A pox on the landlord's house and I hope he gets bad publicity internationally.

I'm glad you posted this as I'd not seen this. It is horrible and I would never have expected California to be the location of such a scene. They'll wish they kept this tenant by the time it's over and Bienestar will have plenty of advocates come to the fore in California.
