Dear friends,
He compares gay people to Nazis. Supports anti-gay laws. Calls gay people “perverse, dysfunctional, and unhealthy."
And now, Brian Camenker’s U.S. hate group, MassResistance, has landed here in Nigeria.
My name is Pamela and I work for All Out on the ground in Nigeria, where it's illegal to be gay. I've witnessed some of the world’s worst and most entrenched homophobia. MassResistance’s presence here is only going to make things worse.
I need your help to get the word out about this hate group. They’ve already started meeting and are planning to set up an office in the capital city very soon.
Brian Camenker has devoted years to spreading vile, hateful lies about the LGBT community. In 2013, he traveled to Jamaica to support the criminalisation of homosexuality.
Now, he’s got his eyes set on Nigeria, where we already face dangerous amounts of discrimination and homophobia.
Here in Nigeria, police hunt down gay men, threatening to “out” or arrest them if they don’t pay a bribe. Religious leaders shout homophobic hate speech to thousands. Unprovoked and violent beatings happen all the time.
The recent wave of anti-gay organisations bringing hate to Africa is alarming. Just last month, anti-gay U.S. pastor Steven Anderson, who celebrated the killing of 49 people in Orlando, tried to start a church in South Africa. But after over 52,000 All Out members spoke out, he was denied entry into the country!
Let’s sound the alarm on MassResistance, before it's too late:
Thanks for going All Out,
Pamela Adie
All Out, Nigeria
