If you happen to fit the gay man’s stereotype of being a snappy dresser, you probably already own most of these wardrobe staples.
Nick Jonas Comes Clean About His Sexuality
Since making a comeback, Nick Jonas has been in the public eye a lot, especially the gay gaze. He’s been accused of gaybaiting fans, and encouraging them to question his sexuality to increase sales, and it worked.
As you know, Jonas loves his gay fans; he’s been chained up at gay bars, played gay on TV and hinted at being queer. Despite all the gaybaiting, he finally opened up about his sexuality. In an interview with Complex, Jonas came out as straight. The pop star said:
“As a heterosexual male, [I am] open and comfortable about loving my fan base, gay or straight, because to me there is no difference, it is my fan base. Your sexual preference does not matter to me and it shouldn’t matter to anybody. I thought [the criticism] was kind of dumb, considering I play this gay character on a gritty show [Kingdom]. There’s a gay scene. I kissed a man….
The goal is acceptance on all levels— that should be the focus. I’ve gone to normal clubs, straight clubs, and I’ve gone to gay clubs, to party with my friends and fans. There’s no difference. I have nothing to prove. I’m very comfortable in my own skin and I’m thankful to have as many close gay friends as I have, people who have been so supportive in my life, and have always been there for me.”
Although we enjoyed the fantasy, we’re happy that Jonas finally cleared up the gaybait. If you’d like to read more from Jonas, you can view the entire interview here.

Scientists Pledge to Cure HIV by 2020
During the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, the American Foundation for Aids Research (amfAR) has been at the forefront for the fight against HIV.
Since the foundation’s inception, billions of dollars have been raised to fund research and find a cure for the once deadly disease. Now, the organization is donating nearly 2-million dollars in conjunction with with the Countdown to a Cure initiative, which aims to find “a broadly applicable cure for HIV by 2020.”
The grant will fund a team of scientists working over a 4-year period. The scientists will “bring their expertise to bear in the effort to eradicate the viral reservoir that is considered the principal barrier to curing HIV.”
According to amfAR, these grants were given to researchers who work “outside the field of HIV in areas that could directly inform efforts to cure HIV.”
The aggressive approach amfAR has taken to terminate HIV is evident in their cultivation of Countdown to a Cure, which “is designed to intensify amfAR’s cure-focused HIV research program with plans to strategically invest $100 million in cure research over the next six years.” What do you think: will we discover a cure for HIV by 2020?
