Obama has said that the stigma surrounding HIV is largely due to homphobia. I hope this is addressed squarely in the national strategy. There needs to be an anti-homophobia campaign from the federal level -- like the anti-smoking campaign. Homophobia fuels the HIV epidemic and many other negative health outcomes for GLBT persons -- e.g. depression, suicide, alcoholism,drug abuse, violence. America needs to maximize the resouces that GLBT persons have to contribute to our society.
