North Carolina GOP Lawmaker Seeks To Cut HIV/AIDS Treatment Programs
 
Huffington Post / Jan 12, 2011 / Nick Wing
 
North Carolina state Rep. Larry Brown (R), whose controversial comments have offended members of the gay community in the past, has announced plans to remove HIV/AIDS treatment from state-funded medical coverage.
 
"I'm not opposed to helping a child born with HIV or something, but I don't condone spending taxpayers' money to help people living in perverted lifestyles," Brown told the Winston-Salem Journal.
 
Brown told the Journal he doesn't believe HIV/AIDS patients should be covered for diseases caused "by the way they live," saying that any patients who contracted such illnesses "sexual behavior or drugs" should pay the full cost of treatment themselves.
 
Brown caused outrage in the gay community last year when he blasted out an email to a colleague belittling an award by a North Carolina gay-rights group to then-state House Speaker Joe Hackney (D) and referring to gays as "queers" and "fruitloops."
 
"I hope all the queers are thrilled to see him," Brown wrote. "I am sure there will be a couple legislative fruitloops there in the audience."
 
The Charlotte News & Observer notes a rather significant point of contention regarding Brown's connection of HIV/AIDS victims to the gay community:
 
Recent statistics from the U.S. Centers For Disease Control show that about half of new cases of HIV/AIDS are contracted by people who are not gay, either through heterosexual activity or through drug use.

San Francisco home to first US gay museum
AFP / Jan 12, 2011
 
 
SAN FRANCISCO --- The first gay museum in the United States opens officially on Thursday in San Francisco's famed Castro District.

The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) Museum had a "soft opening" a day early, with founders cautioning that a few pieces had yet to be completed.

"We have gone all out to create a museum as rich, diverse and surprising as the GLBT community itself," said GLBT Historical Society executive director Paul Boneberg.

On display are pink-framed sunglasses, a whistle, Levi jeans and other belongings of Harvey Milk, the city's first openly gay elected official.

Milk was assassinated in 1978 and his colorful and poignant story was captured in a film starring Sean Penn.

Exhibits were also said to include sex toys.

"The GLBT History Museum is in the heart of the Castro, a neighborhood visited not only by locals, but also by tens of thousands of tourists every year who come in search of queer culture," Boneberg said.

"At our museum, they'll discover treasures from our archives that reflect fascinating stories spanning nearly a century of GLBT life."

An opening gala complete with ribbon cutting was planned for Thursday.

The museum was billed as the second of its kind, the first having been opened decades ago in Berlin.
