2. Hmm, it seems North American “ex-gay” groups have a little more to do with attitudes in other parts of the world than they like to admit.

   It isn’t a leap to say that Africans who are portrayed as broken and in need of “repair” might have an increased likelihood of being victims of hate crimes. After all, once people are dehumanized - it makes it easier to attack them. Clearly, this ad by an Exodus Global Alliance affiliate are demeaning and make the lives of gay people seem worth less than those who are not in need of “repair.”

3. Ummm…. if this is to repair Africa, why is the hand so very pale? Is it “good white missionaries” that are taking the mask off of Africans? Is this some sort of subliminal racist thing?

4. Good point Timothy. I never noticed - but the hand is white, while the ministry is Nigerian.
