More than 20 demonstrators rallied March 8 outside the Hershey Company’s flagship store on Times Square to protest the candy maker for not opposing the Milton Hershey School’s decision to reject a 13-year-old student because of his HIV-positive status. A number of young activists expressed outrage and deep concern about the HIV discrimination case, and they joined forces with organizers from the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the Hispanic AIDS Forum, and Gay Men of African Descent to call for a boycott of Hershey Company products.
