Minnesota Protesters Drop Glitter On Anti-Marriage Equality Fair Booth
Think Progress - Sep 5, 2011
"For unclear reasons, the Minnesota State Fair found last-minute space for a booth for the coalition supporting a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage (Minnesota For Marriage), but not for the pro-equality coalition opposing the amendment," Minnesotans United for All Families. To protest the seemingly unfair treatment, members of the �barbarian� group dumped glitter on the anti-gay booth from the skilift above, shouting �where�s our booth?� and �equality for all.�
There are other articles: should i post each and every one of them? And to be clear, please do not state falsehoods as the LGBT group was "not offered a booth." In this group, i soley pass credible articles. ....jake

I hear that there was a marriage equality group at the fair or at least individuals. I read a story that those polled at the fair voted NO overwhelmingly regarding the MN marriage amendment
Moderator: yes, but Marriage equality people were blocked form having
their own booth. So even the leaders of the fair - discriminated
and only allowed the haters to have their booth against gay
marriage. ....jake

GeoVax Labs Receives $0.8M Funding Boost from NIAID to Progress HIV Vaccine
Sep 1, 2011 - Genetic Engineering News
GeoVax Labs has had an existing $3.6 million annual grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) increased to $4.4 million, to further support development of the firm's HIV vaccine. The firm announced receipt of the designated $3.6 million tranche just a couple of weeks ago.
The five-year Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development grant was originally awarded in 2007, and the latest $0.8 million increase reflects an administrative supplement to support vaccine response characterization, GeoVax states.
This supplement for the 2011–12 grant year is the third for the GeoVax program, bringing the initial award of $15.4 million now to an aggregate of $20.4 million. "This award is important for the advancement of our GM-CSF adjuvanted vaccine that is achieving an unprecedented level of prevention of infection," comments Harriet Robinson, Ph.D., GeoVax CSO. The firm had originally projected developing the vaccine for use in controlling existing HIV infection, but says it has observed that administration of the vaccine also provides high levels of preventive protection.

GeoVax $3.6 Million Award Increased to $4.4 Million by U.S. Government
Aggregate Total Award of $20.4 Million for Clinical Development of HIV/AIDS Vaccine
ATLANTA, Sept. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- GeoVax Labs, Inc. (otcqb/otcbb:GOVX), an Atlanta-based biopharmaceutical firm developing vaccines to prevent and fight Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections, today announced the increase of an existing $3.6 million annual award to $4.4 million for its Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) Grant supporting GeoVax's HIV/AIDS vaccine program.
This five-year grant was originally awarded in 2007 to GeoVax by the National Institutes of Health-National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Disease (NIH-NIAID), an agency of the U.S. government. The increase reflects an administrative supplement to support vaccine response characterization. Only highly successful IPCAVD grants receive supplements, which allow these successful programs to move more rapidly. This most recent supplement for the 2011-12 grant year is the third for the GeoVax program, bringing the initial award of $15.4 million now to an aggregate award of $20.4 million.
Harriet Robinson, Ph.D., GeoVax's Chief Scientific Officer, stated, "This award is important for the advancement of our GM-CSF adjuvanted vaccine that is achieving unprecedented levels of prevention of infection. When we started this project, I thought we could only control, not prevent, infections. It is truly wonderful to be achieving high levels of prevention of infection, and we are working very hard to move the vaccine through the needed efficacy trials for human use."
About GeoVax
GeoVax is a biotechnology company developing human vaccines for diseases caused by HIV. Our goals include developing HIV/AIDS vaccines for global markets, overseeing the manufacture and testing of these vaccines under GMP/GLP conditions (FDA guidelines), conducting clinical trials for vaccine safety and effectiveness, and obtaining regulatory approvals to move the product forward. GeoVax's vaccines are unique in expressing virus like particles that display the trimeric membrane bound form of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein. All preventative Phase 1 human clinical trials conducted to date tested various combinations and doses of our DNA and MVA vaccines, their ability to raise anti-HIV humoral (antibody) and cellular (cytotoxic T cell) immune responses, as well as, the vaccines' safety. Successful results from Phase 1 testing supported the initiation of the first Phase 2 testing. GeoVax's Phase 2 human trial began in January 2009 and involves 300 participants at sites in the United States and South America. Recently GeoVax began enrolling patients in a Phase 1 therapeutic trial for individuals already infected with HIV.

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!

Glitter flies at State Fair amid battle over marriage amendment (w/video)
By Andy Greder - 09/05/2011 - Pioneer Press
Glitter as a political weapon: The latest skirmish came Sunday when a group calling itself "Glitterati" dumped bags of it on an anti-gay-marriage group's booth at the Minnesota State Fair.
Four people showered the Minnesota for Marriage booth with the shiny stuff as they passed overhead on the Sky Glider ride about 5 p.m., protesting what group organizer Nick Espinosa said was preferential treatment by Fair officials. Espinosa's group said the Fair declined registration attempts by the gay-marriage-rights group Minnesotans United for All Families.
Both sides have descended on the Fair to stake sides on a 2012 constitutional amendment proposal to define marriage as an institution between a man and a woman.
"Where's our booth? Equality for all!" shouted the unidentified people in a video posted on YouTube.
Espinosa, whose group claims previously throwing glitter on presidential candidates Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich, said the Fair initially declined registration attempts by both Minnesota for Marriage and Minnesotans United for All Families. That changed just after the Fair opened when Minnesota for Marriage announced that it had a spot.
Espinosa said the release came as a "shock."
"We think that's preferential treatment, and we are pushing, advocating for equality," said Espinosa, of Minneapolis.
Both groups initially called to get a booth and were told none was available. But apparently only Minnesota for Marriage registered for a booth in the event one opened up.
On about Aug. 30, Minnesota for Marriage received a recent booth vacancy, said Jim Sinclair, the Fair's deputy general manager.
Minnesotans United for All Families did receive permission to disseminate its information at other political booths, Sinclair said.
In the YouTube video, those staffing the anti-gay-marriage booth appeared not to notice the glitter blitz.
