Homophobia kills, 1993

Activist groups emerged as quickly as the AIDS epidemic, helping to combat ignorance, fear, and social stigma, which prevented people from seeing and understanding AIDS as a public heath issue and taking action against it. This poster called for the gay community to mobilize and use the 1993 Gay Pride March to inform and educate fellow New Yorkers about AIDS.
