Cure Research Advancing on Multiple Fronts Dame Elizabeth SpRInG 2011 INNThe newsletter of amfAR,OV The FoundationAT for AIDS ResearchIONS Dame Elizabeth Taylor, 1932 –2011 Founding International Chairman, amfAR Dame Elizabeth Taylor was one of the most inspirational fi gures in the fi ght against HIV/AIDS. In the early years of the epidemic, she brought AIDS out of the shadows and used her celebrity to shame and cajole politicians into action. An ardent and forceful advocate, Dame Elizabeth testifi ed before Congress on the need for substantial investments in AIDS treatment, care, and research, and she raised millions for amfAR through her participation in benefi t events in the U.S. and abroad. Unfortunately, ill health prevented Dame Elizabeth from attending the amfAR New York Gala in February, when she was honored in absentia with amfAR’s Award of Courage. In his tribute remarks, Sir Elton John said, “Elizabeth Taylor was a force of nature. She compelled people to listen, made them respond, urged them to act. Elizabeth Taylor has inspired every one of us and many millions of others around the world. She has shown us the meaning of courage and moral responsibility. She’ll forever be our guiding star.” n (For more on Elizabeth Taylor’s extraordinary contributions to the fi ght against HIV/AIDS, see insert.)

Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice. The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward. When four states brought marriage equality to the election FROM THE PRESIDENT ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way Americans view marriage equality. Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families.

We sometimes struggle to explain the nature of this sea change that has made us more optimistic than ever before about our chances of finding a cure. Here’s one way to think about it. For many years, AIDS research focused almost exclusively on trying to define the enemy—mapping out the way in which HIV invaded the human body and set about destroying the immune system. It was a little like shining a flashlight in the dark. What you’re able to see appears with great clarity. The trouble is, you’re never really sure how vast the darkness is. The research progress we’ve made in the last few years has effectively switched on the lights. Now, at last, we can see where we’re going and chart a path forward. In fact, several potential pathways are now laid out before us.

    The Foundation for AIDS Research July 2011 ISSUE BRIEF AIDS Research: Broad Health and Economic Benefits Investments in health research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have paid enormous dividends in the health and well-being of people in the U.S. and around the world.
