This poster says, yes, abstinence may lower your risk of contracting the virus, but you should not be shamed into it. Just because a bunch of bigots say marriage outside of &#8220;monogamous heterosexual marriage&#8221; is sinful doesn&#8217;t give them the right to dictate your choices. I like this poster because it acknowledges one of the possible ways to lessen the risk of contracting AIDS while also pushing against an unfortunately prevalent and misguided religious\/political philosophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The general behavior of the &#8220;Christian&#8221; Right during the worst years of AIDS crisis was simply deplorable.
