(Harrisburg, PA) The administration of Governor Josh Shapiro met last week to raise awareness for the LGBTQ+ community and honored sixty-three of them who passed away after being victims of violence. Secretary of Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Dr. Val Arkoosh spoke about some ways to reduce the violence of these individuals, which included a service where an LGBTQ+ counselor can help to address mental health, and to provide a community where every Pennsylvanian can live in an equal environment.
