New York, New York--Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) will honor Javier Muñoz, Broadway star in the lead role in "Hamilton: An American Musical," with the 2016 Howard Ashman Award, for his activism in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In 2002, Javier was diagnosed with HIV and he continues to speak out about his status-particularly in the media-because of the stigma directed at people living with HIV/AIDS. Javier is also a recent survivor of cancer. Proceeds from the cabaret will support GMHC's programs, services, and advocacy, which benefit roughly 10,000 clients every year.
