Viral video star 'cured' from being gay explains himself
‘That video was not planned. I did not know I was going to get that mic. When I walked up there, I was walking up there, chains bound. I was walking up there, not knowing that I had more hope to myself’

Perfume Genius Tour T-Shirts Feature Eminem in Drag
Perfume Genius (aka Mike Hadreas), who made his debut on The Late Show with David Letterman two weeks ago and is currently playing dates in Europe, is not the only artist on his who will be wearing a bit of lipstick.
Hadreas took to Twitter this week to remind folks that his apparel targets a rapper known for his homophobic lyrics, for those of you wanting to ‘dress up’ your t-shirt collection:

We Need to be Better PrEPared
By now, many of you may have seen the headlines or read news about what sounds like encouraging results, announced in late October, about two clinical trials of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) in gay and bisexual men.
It’s important, however, to not make assumptions based on the preliminary findings about the PROUD and IPERGAY studies.
Before the scheduled end of the trials, the safety monitoring boards determined Truvada was effective in reducing the HIV infection rate among study participants, so they stopped the trials early and offered Truvada to all study participants.
The IPERGAY trial was especially interesting because it was testing different dosing strategies for Truvada, other than once a day. It’s important to know, however, that we don’t yet have the critical information we need to make firm conclusions about the frequency, timing or exact dose of PrEP required for protection.
Although there will be a full reporting of the data in scientific meetings and publications, it will take some time for that data to be fully analyzed. And because the trials were halted early, it’s possible there will not be enough data to answer all of the questions initially posed by the investigators.
We also don’t yet have important data regarding the risk behaviors of study participants, rates of HIV infection and adherence to the PrEP regimen.
So as we wait for more information from these and other important studies still underway, including the Center’s own study, I agree with the statement recently issued by the CDC. They “recommend the FDA-approved and proven regimen of daily oral Truvada for HIV prevention among those at substantial risk for HIV infection. Consistent daily use of PrEP (measured by a detectable level of medicine in the blood) has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection among MSM by as much as 92%.”
The Los Angeles LGBT Center believes PrEP is a very important component of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the number of people infected by HIV. Learn more about our position here.
Robert Bolan, M.D., is the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s medical director. A former president and chairman of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, Dr. Bolan has been caring for people with HIV since the earliest days of the epidemic and is one of the nation’s foremost experts on HIV treatment.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy Calls for Repeal of Country's Gay Marriage Law
At a debate organized by a conservative group yesterday, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy told supporters that the country’s same-sex marriage law should be repealed.
The Guardian reports:
Referring to the “mariage pour tous” or “marriage for all” legislation passed by France’s Socialist government last year, he said it needed “rewriting from top to bottom”.
His comments prompted catcalls from the 3,000-strong audience of the group Common Sense, and cries of “Repeal! Repeal!”. Sarkozy, appearing rattled, responded: “If you’d rather one says repeal the law and make another one … in French, that’s saying the same thing. It comes to the same result.
“But hey, if that makes you happy, then frankly, it doesn’t cost much.”
Sarkozy went on to say that he was in favour of some form of marriage for same-sex couples, but something different from that for heterosexuals, and that he opposed surrogacy for same-sex couples. […]
Sarkozy’s comment and apparent policy-making on the hoof brought angry reactions from the governing Socialist party, which accused him of “appealing to the most reactionary instincts of his core supporters”. A spokesperson said Sarkozy wanted to create “a new form of segregation” with his two-tier marriage proposal.
Sarkozy is in the midst of an attempted political comeback and is vying to lead the country’s centre-right UMP party into the 2017 presidential election.
Back in September, during his first television interview since announcing his intention to return to politics, Sarkozy accused the socialist government of “humiliating families and humiliating people who love the family” by introducing the legislation allowing same-sex marriage.
Sarkozy is on his third marriage.

AOL's 'True Trans' Series Explores Coming Out And Transition As A Trans Person
Episodes four and five of AOL’s compelling series “True Trans” takes an intimate look at the individual stories of several individuals who came out as a trans and then transitioned. Each person’s experience is unique to their own life journey, and Laura Jane Grace sits down with a number of transgender and gender-variant people in these episodes to give them the chance to tell their stories.
“I said to my parents that I really needed to get help,” transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox shares in the above episode. “And I told my father, I was like ‘I want to transition.’ He said, ‘OK, son, we’re going to get you the help you need.’ And a couple of months later I ended up in a gay reversion therapist’s office. They took me in there and they were trying to turn me gay to straight — when I wasn’t gay in the first place.”
Check out the video above to hear more coming out stories or the video below to hear these individuals discuss their own unique paths to living as their authentic selves. Missed the previous episodes of “True Trans”? Head here to watch them.
