HIV Positive Airmen Fight To Stay In Air Force (Washington, DC) -- LGBTQ advocates are preparing to take the U.S. government to court over its policies on HIV-positive service members. Supporters have filed a lawsuit on behalf of two young Air Force members who said they were discharged after being diagnosed with HIV. The suit claims that the men, identified by the pseudonyms Richard Roe and Victor Voe, were unjustly let go as the military rules do not call for automatic dismissal due to the medical condition. The military argued that the men could pose a risk to fellow service members on the battlefield who could come in contact with their blood.

Indiana Governor Vows To Try Again For Pregnancy Protections (Indianapolis, IN) -- Indiana's governor says he is not giving up when it comes to trying to make things easier for pregnant women at work. Governor Eric Holcomb yesterday said he will try again with a proposed pregnancy protection law. The Indiana Senate turned the idea down last week. The legislation would allow pregnant moms to take more breaks or swap tasks to get them more time off their feet. Business groups in the state worry about what the regulations may mean for employers.

Expert Warns Of Fatty Liver Disease (Cedar Grove, NJ) -- Fatty Liver disease is a common condition in middle-aged Americans, affecting more than 80-million people. Major risk factors include obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. Complications can include cirrhosis and liver cancer. Wayne Eskridge, a New Jersey man who founded the Fatty Liver Foundation, says there is no cure, so the best way to treat it is to avoid getting it in the first place. He says diets rich in fruit and vegetables and low in harmful fats can help prevent Fatty Liver disease.
