North Carolina state Rep. Larry Brown, the Republican who garnered national condemnation last year after he described gay people as "Fruitloops" and "queers" in an e-mail to other legislators, says one of his priorities for the year will be to eliminate state funding for AIDS and HIV treatments for adults.

In an interview with the Winston-Salem Journal, Brown said taxpayers shouldn't pay to help those with the disease because they "caused it by the way they live."
