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."
