By CHRIS JOHNSON
Oct 29 2009
President Obama plans to sign into law on Friday a reauthorization of funds under the Ryan White Care Act, according to Shin Inouye, a White House spokesperson.
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 would provide funding for low-income people living with HIV/AIDS for an additional four years.
First enacted in 1990, the Ryan White Care Act is the nation’s largest federally funded program for people living with HIV/AIDS and is designed to assist low-income patients who are...

Farr Introduces Medical Marijuana Fair Trial Bill
Wed. October 28, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Sam Farr on Tuesday introduced legislation that would allow individuals accused of violating federal marijuana laws to offer evidence in federal court that their use of medical marijuana followed state medical marijuana laws.
Rep. Farr introduced the bill, called the Truth in Trials Act, in the wake of a recent directive from the Justice Department telling federal prosecutors not to prosecute individuals who are following state medical marijuana laws. The bill would codify legal protections for defendants caught between...

One City’s Insane Fight Against Obama’s Sane New Pot Policy
The administration has officially put a stop to crackdowns on the medical-marijuana business, but to hear the dispensers tell it, nothing’s stopping Los Angeles from finding every last ridiculous loophole
By John H. Richardson
October 27, 2009
Two years ago, in the throes of a Bush administration that disregarded states’ rights whenever it felt like getting high on itself, there were fewer than two hundred medical-marijuana outlets in Los Angeles. Today, even the most conservative estimates say that number has quadrupled. On one stretch ...

POT GROUP: BANNING MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES WOULD COST L.A. MILLIONS
Story Published: Oct 25, 2009
Los Angeles’ proposed medical marijuana ordinance, which would outlaw the sale of pot at dispensaries, would cost the city $36 million to $74 million in lost sales taxes, a marijuana advocacy group asserted Sunday.
Under the proposed ordinance, only nonprofit medical marijuana collectives — groups of qualified patients and their primary caregivers — would be allowed to cultivate the drug to relieve pain from serious illnesses.
According to the California chapter of the National Organization for the Re...

I mean that literally than metaphorically, and I’m talking about my mouth.
In addition, I should probably be transparent and give a warning that I am indeed writing under the influence of painkillers.
It’s been a couple months that I had my tooth yanked. The one that has already had a crown, one root canal, some other thing where the gum is cut and nasty stuff happens, then the gum down again, ending with a tooth extraction.
I had opted for the “conscious sedation” where I got an IV of nice drugs. I figured it’s legal, and I’d rather be so f.ed up that I didn’t give a shit that s...

Nancy Spero, Artist of Feminism, Is Dead at 83
By HOLLAND COTTER
Published: October 19, 2009 Nancy Spero, an American artist and feminist whose
tough, exquisite figurative art addressed the realities of political
violence, died on Sunday in Manhattan. She was 83 and lived in
Manhattan. The cause was infection leading to respiratory problems that in turn caused heart failure, said her son Philip.
Born in Cleveland in 1926, Ms. Spero studied at the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago and there met her husban...

Today’s Acid Reflux post, I decided to put up on GayGuideToronto.Com instead, leaving the original post in the can for another time.

Hi, I’m Justin Eusebio.While tuberculosis is one of the world’s oldest surviving plagues and HIV-1 infection is one of medicine’s newest challenges, there is an undeniable relationship between HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. Independently, Mycobacteria tuberculosis and HIV are formidable pathogens but in concert, the prospects for controlling either epidemic are jeopardized. TB-HIV coinfection and interaction complicate all aspects of each disease: pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and even social and economic issues. Not only are individuals more likely to undergo tuberc...

While searching for something completely different, I stumbled upon this little gem. At first I thought it was going to be really dumb, but in the end I laughed.
“Puke In My Mouth” a You Tube response to “Jizz In My Pants’ is good fun, and shows how much talent is going into making You Tube videos these days.
It is no wonder that I got naked for my intro to my new VideoBlog Show -- No You Can’t Stay For Coffee, which will officially debut with its new edit on GayGuideToronto.Com next week. I have to resort to cheap tricks to get people’s attention with so much content out there.

I have grown to dread hospitals and the medical industry in general "and it is an industry". Medical care has become a joke in this country, even in some of the best hospitals which are under staffed, over worked, unprepared and chaotic. Insurance and drug companies, plus other bean counters dictate what, when, how and who gets treated and who gets sent away. A lot of the under staffing and overworking of hospital and clinic staff comes from mandates in hospital admin (bean counters) and from HMO's and insurance companies.Over the past 10 years I have been rushed to the ER more times than I'd like to remember. In all but o...

Ok, I lived through SARS in Toronto, and not for one minute was I worried. Meanwhile the world was freaking out, conferences were cancelled, concerts were cancelled, and the cities economy took probably a bigger hit than the recent recession. People became so stupid that it reminded me of when HIV first hit on the scene and how people lost all sense of rationality.
When H1N1 came on the scene, and personally I like to call it Pig Flu, I wasn’t too concerned. However over time my concern has risen. This was mostly due to the numbers of people being exposed to this virus compared to those who came in contact with SARS....

Here’s my latest GayGuideToronto.Com post – My Burning Bathhouse
I have a question for anyone who reads this. Recently I met this guy I really like. It’s nothing like dating or relationship, more like a sexual friendship, a step up from f.buddy, but a step down from dating. Something in between in that no strings kind of connection.
He is negative, and in the past has taken such extreme risks. Today he sent me a text from Hassle Free Clinic to say his test came back negative.
Since we’ve met, despite his avserion to condoms, nonetheless, we have used them everytime time.

This past weekend, tens of thousands (some estimates have it at hundreds of thousands) of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allied people from across the nation converged on Washington, DC for the National Equality March (NEM), the first national LGBT rights march in DC since 2000.
On Saturday, October 10th, 15+ organizations hosted a rally and vigil for HIV/AIDS on the Ellipse, not even a block away from the White House. Cleve Jones, one of the co-chairs of the NEM and founder of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, said of the rally, “The weekend of course is about achieving full equality for LGBT Americans...
