Glad that he has seemed to deal with his insecurities. It's crazy that someone said that they would sit there and say they wouldn't want to be around someone who was gay. Thing is: You don't know who around you is gay.

AIDS activists deliver letters to Gilead slamming drug policies

Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal / August 19, 2011
 
AIDS activists who have long voiced complaints about Gilead Sciences Inc.'s HIV drug pricing and policies said Friday that they left 1,593 letters with the company's CEO detailing their concerns.
 
Earlier this month Foster City-based Gilead (NASDAQ:GILD) said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Complera, a new single-tablet regimen for the treatment of HIV infection.
 
Advocates from the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation said the majority of the letters slammed the company's pricing policies and the "strain that the $10,000 price tag for its key AIDS drug Atripla is putting on state AIDS drug assistance programs."
 
There are now more than 9,200 Americans on waiting lists to receive HIV/AIDS medication, the group said.
 
AIDS drug assistance programs is the "last resort for thousands of people with AIDS who cannot afford their medicines. However, due to the high price of AIDS drugs such as Atripla ... this program can no longer serve all the people who rely on it," the group said.
 
The letters added that last year "Gilead generated over $6.5 billion in revenues for AIDS drugs, but has refused to lower prices for ADAPs.
 
In April Gilead reported first quarter net income of $651.1 million, or 80 cents a share, on revenue of $1.93 billion. Drug sales increased 4 percent to $1.86 billion for the first quarter, and the company's antiviral product sales increased 2 percent to $1.63 billion.
 
Other letters criticized the company's policies, inclduing the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's approval of Gilead's Truvada as a pre-exposure prophyliaxis to prevent HIV transmission.
 
"First and foremost, a rate of 44 percent preventive effectiveness is much too low to merit FDA approval," the group said. "The consequences of patients who take Truvada haphazardly are that they will become infected, develop drug resistance, and spread drug-resistant virus to others."
Take Action:
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida!In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
  • Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating over 1 mIllion dollars to anti-gay marriage groups + serious history of employment discrimination of LGBT community.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?
And Now, Model Wars!

Tim Hardaway now gay-friendly, why
Belky Perez Schwartz, LGBT Relationships - Examiner; August 20, 2011
 
Celebrities are often vocal about their stance on gay rights and equal marriage rights. Comedian Tracy Morgan went on his anti-gay rant and later recanted his anti-gay jokes in a public apology assisted by the Gay and Lesbian Association Against Defamation (GLAAD). NFL star David Tyree openly spoke against gay marriage and created a video with the National Organization for Marriage (NOM); he still maintains his views. On August 19th, 2011, professional basketball player Tim Hardaway, former player for the Miami Heat is recanting his own anti-gay views. In 2007, Tim went on a local radio show to discuss how he felt about equal marriage rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons. Since then, it seems Hardaway has had a change of heart. What happened?

Watch the video of Tim Hardaway after he made his gay hate statements here: http://youtu.be/_zde62_DyVc

In a Yahoo! sports article, Timmy discussed how his views related to the gay and lesbian community have changed since the day in 2007 when he openly condemned people in same-sex relationships. In one interview that followed his visit to the radio station, he met up with sports reporter Jim Berry. Their exchange during the interview included the following:
 
Berry:"Do you think some people would view that as bigoted as someone white saying I hate black people"

Hardaway: "Probably so. I don't condone it. And if people have a problem with that, I'm sorry. I'm saying that I can't stand being around that person knowing that they sleep with somebody of the same sex."

Berry:"So if you had a family member who was gay, you're saying that you hate them?"

Hardaway: "Yes. Yes. Yeah. I wouldn't talk to them."

Berry:"Tell me why."

Hardaway: "I just told you.'Cause I don't condone it."

How have Hardaway's views changed since then and why? In the Yahoo! Sports article, the author explains Timmy has since changed his views, apologizing for his statements related to gay people. Having received counseling since the incident, Timmy has apparently changed his stance on same-sex relationships and equal marriage rights, or the legalization of gay marriage.  During a visit to El Paso, Texas for a golf event, his college town, he made time to attend an event to openly support three gay politicians in danger of losing their jobs because of their sexuality; something he would not have even considered in 2007!

Tracy Morgan gay jokes straight up not funny?

What message did he have to send to others that might hold the views he used to have in 2007?
 
"I would say grow up and catch up with the times," he said. "It's all around the world."

What's your take on things? How do you think Timmy's counseling helped him? As a celebrity basketball player, how do you think Hardaway will impact the fight for gay rights in the United States and across the globe? Have thoughts on this article you'd like to share?
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
