A gay advocacy group is suing to block a New Hampshire town from shutting down a group home for people with HIV, AIDS and Hepatitis C.

Boston-based Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders sued Gilsum this month on behalf of AIDS Services for the Monadnock Region to stop the town from taking Cleve Jones Wellness House for not paying property taxes. Five people are living in the home. GLAD attorney Ben Klein said Tuesday the group home is tax exempt and shouldn't have to pay the taxes.

He said the home failed to file its application for the exemption and that when it finally did, the town refused to approve a late application, though it routinely granted exemptions to nonprofits that file late or not at all.
