Applause for Miss NYC

• Beauty and Guts. Move over anti-gay Miss USA contestant, Carrie Prejean, there’s a new queen in town. The newest Miss New York, Claire Buffie, is the first Miss America contestant, in it’s 90 year history, to use gay rights as her platform. Her platform is “Straight for Equality: Let’s Talk” Ms. Buffie tells The Advocate “that it’s really important to promote equality for all people, ‘all’ being the main word. As a straight ally, I think it’s so necessary to have that straight allies’ support for the LGBT community.” Inspired by her lesbian sister and her years surrounded by gays in her dance program she is ready to bring the equality train the national pageant. In the past years the American public has been able to vote anywhere from one to four contestants into the televised top 15. I think Miss New York’s platform should guarantee her a place on our speed dial.

AIDS Conference sends strong message to Obama

A major protest marked the start of the 2010 International AIDS Conference—Twitter hashtag #AIDS2010—in Vienna. Hundreds of HIV-positive activists marched through the streets and into the Messe Wien conference center and staged a massive "die-in" to delay the start of the opening ceremonies.




The activists were calling attention to the decreased funding of HIV/AIDS programs by the G8 leaders, as well as the "slowing and scaling back their commitments toward Universal Access to HIV care, treatment and prevention." No arrests were reported.



The AIDS 2010 protest mirrors the massive May 13 New York City action when hundreds of activists blocked traffic and laid down on Madison Avenue to protest the Obama Administration's record on HIV/AIDS funding.



Last week the Obama Administration unveiled the nation's first National HIV/AIDS Strategy. Although the strategy shifts focus to "concentrate HIV prevention efforts at the highest-risk population"—including men who have sex with men (MSM) and black Americans—the strategy entails no new additional spending.
