Obama made the announcement when speaking before a group of HIV/AIDS advocates at a White House event observing World AIDS Day in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
“The United States should be at the forefront of new discoveries in how to put HIV into long-term remission without requiting live-long therapies, or better yet, eliminate it completely,†Obama said.
In a fact sheet published after the event, the White House clarified the $100 million would be distributed over the course of three years and would catalyze further research for new therapies to improve outcomes for people with HIV.

As old feelings of love and regret are rekindled, RJ and Chris must once again confront their seemingly impossible love.

Are gay people Aliens?? WTF??
ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION while watching singing competitions recently (ie X Factor and The Voice) the JUDGES told the female singers to do this or that for the male viewers...and likewise they told male singers to do this of that for the female fans. WHAT? What about the gay fans? Don't we matter?
Why in this day and age, do we endure these homophobic comments?
Why are not gays people's feeling considered?

Lucas is trying to raise funds to complete the film titled The Campaign of Evil: Russia and Gay Propaganda with a Kickstarter campaign. He explains why this is a passion project for him....
Since growing up as a confused gay child in the former Soviet Union, it has been my dream to show the world a vision of what it is like to be a member of the LGBT community in my former homeland.
As most of the world moves forward toward gay equality, Russia is seemingly heading backward. Antigay sentiment and legislation are spreading rapidly throughout the country. Earlier this year, the Russian parliament passed a ban on so-called “gay propaganda†that effectively makes nearly any public discussion of gay equality a crime. The city of Moscow has outlawed Gay Pride parades for the next 100 years. Adoption of Russian children is forbidden to citizens of any foreign country that permits gay marriage.
And legislation is now being considered that would permit the Russian government to remove gay people’s children from their homes. The Kremlin has chosen the LGBT community as its scapegoat in a populist campaign against supposedly decadent “Western†values, and there are ominous signs of much worse to come. Violent attacks against Russian gays or suspected gays are more and more common. Videos of young LGBT people being taunted and tortured have been widely distributed on the Internet.

DID YOU KNOW.......
As of 2002, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) developed national standards and started the National Organic Program http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/nop for organic food production and handling.
USDA Organic labeling is broken down into 4 subcategories.
- 100% Organic (contains 100% organic ingredients. E.g. a piece of fruit)
- Organic (Contains 95% or more organic ingredients)
- Made With Organic Ingredients (70% or more organic ingredients)
- < 70% Organic Ingredients ( < 70% organic ingredients)
All Manna Organics products contain between 95% and 100% organic and are therefore certified "Organic" by Quality Assurance International (QAI), which means that an organic certification organization, accredited by the United States Department of Agriculture, has validated that products labeled as "organic" meet the defined organic standards.
Now that same-sex couples in 14 states have all the rights and responsibilities of straight married couples, gay couples are rushing to the altar, right? Not exactly. Plenty of gay couples do not want to marry, and their reasons are as complex â€" and personal â€" as any decision to wed.
For some, marriage is an outdated institution, one that forces same-sex couples into the mainstream. For others, marriage imposes financial burdens and legal entanglements. Still others see marriage not as a fairy tale but as a potentially painful chapter that ends in divorce. And then there are those for whom marriage goes against their beliefs, religious or otherwise.

Sunday, October 27 from 10 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. ET/PT
“Bridegroom†is a documentary film by director Linda Bloodworth Thomason (“Designing Womenâ€) that tells the emotional journey of Shane Bitney Crone and Tom Bridegroom, two young men in a loving and committed relationship that was cut tragically short. The story of what happened after Tom's accidental deathâ€" of how people in relationships without the legal protections of marriage can find themselves completely shut out and ostracized by family members â€" is poignant, thought provoking and sheds more light on the issue of marriage equality and human rights.
On the anniversary of Tom’s death, after a year of documenting his own grief, Shane decided to make a video tribute to his partner entitled “It Could Happen to You.†The video went viral and has garnered over four million views. Although it was a cathartic process for Shane and a tribute to the love of his life, more than anything, he wanted it to serve as a warning to other LGBT couples, and to show the world what can happen when two people are legally barred from having equal rights and protections that are granted to others under marriage laws.
The film has earned numerous accolades, including audience awards at the TriBeca Film Festival, where it was introduced by President Bill Clinton, and Outfest Los Angeles Film Festival. Shane continues to work alongside organizations including GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign to promote equality, and received the Harvey Milk Civil Rights Award in 2012. "Bridegroom" will be available on DVD on November 19, 2013.
The “bizarre, tragic accident†happened near Euston station as British Transport Police officer Gavin Brewer, 32, and his boyfriend Stuart Meads, 34, who had worked on The Weakest Link, returned home from a night out.
An official source confirmed to the Standard that the men had leaned on boards round the building site on the corner of Hampstead Road and Netley Street. The boards then gave way.
The men fell into the hole â€" believed to be an uncovered roof light for a basement flat â€" and suffered fatal injuries. London Ambulance Service said both were pronounced dead at the scene. READ MORE at The Standard.
Heading up the testing portion of the campaign is Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Gary Blick, who understands the urgency of outreach especially to the younger generations.
