If the people responsible for the billboard really cared about “gay” men, they’d have put out a very different message: Forget your pride, get to know your Creator, find a new life where your HIV status will always be “clean,” and stop looking for the missing peace where you’ll never find it.

I know that people in my life who didn’t get away from same-sex attractions did not have happy endings, to say the least. One – my best friend at one point – died in his early 30s.
