You can’t pray the ‘gay’ away – Former youth pastor cum LGBTQ activist says

Dan Yomi, a Nigerian LGBTQ activist who was once a youth pastor has said no one can pray away the gay spirit out of them.

Speaking, Yomi who came out as a gay man in October 2018, stated this on his Twitter handle today July 22. Posting photos of himself as a Youth Pastor, Yomi wrote

”I was a youth pastor in Nigeria & a 20 year old praying for God to deliver me from the spirit of homosexuality

Those were dark times in my life & I’m glad to be in a much better place now So No, you can’t pray the ‘gay’ away & the earlier you accept & love urself, the better!”
