I think someone was trying to show that their bulletin board about homosexuality was insulting because it was about as effective as trying to change one's heritage. A rebuttal of sorts.

For my google search I typed in "truth ministry are you asian and don't want to be". That's probably why we got different results.
"Gettin' tired of your dumbass missin'!"

          Very ambiguous to say the least...if you are trying to make a point on a billboard..I would say it

 should be very solid an easily understood.  That is the whole point of a billboard...people can see in from a

 car and get it driving by...Not have to figure out the mysterious message....however it was chosen, I would

 say it was badly conceived.

Really?  I found it to be a very clever parody of the ex-gay thing.

       What was the first thing that made you think it was about gays?

 It appeared to be about race to me, until Shasta posted the hidden agenda

Well, the utter absurdity of the words.  Fill in "any race" for Asian, it's still absurd.  It clearly goes to the notion that one is born a certain way, no ministry can change that.  To me, it clearly mocks the ex-gay stance. 

I suppose that at the same time, it is racist as well.  As if there's something wrong with being Asian that anyone would want to change.

         personally I dont see anything wrong with it at all.  I could have used a few more brain cells.  Specially
in the math  department..They seem to be smarter than me for sure...

        but I dont see anything wrong with being gay either...the only problem with it is other peoples that do
have problems with it...

Maybe I am experiencing backlash at this point...i get my dander up anytime i am confronted by prejudice, of
any kind..be it gay or racial, or gender or whatever....

It's funny how some of us saw the "gay" idea right away and some of us didn't. That was the first thing I thought of too, but my initial thought was that it meant something bad about gay people. In other words, Asians are born Asians, but Gays are not born Gay. I have a bad way of seeing the word "ministry" and thinking they are going to say something bad about gay people. I guess that has a lot to do with where I am from.

The first thing I thought of when I saw that was it's a "spoof" or parody of the "ex gay" misistries.


Whoever manipulated the photo did a good job.  Not sure that an actual billboard like that would float.


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!
