This is the best summary I could come up with:
The revelations about Washington DC-based National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) and it’s spin-offs and affiliates – based on documents, audio and video recordings and open-source materials – raise questions about its recent disavowals of its history of anti-LGBTQ+ positions, and its role in Uganda’s passage last year of laws on homosexuality which are among the most punitive and restrictive in the world.
A CNN investigation last year explored Slater’s promotion of “‘family values’ conferences across the African continent”, asking about the relationship between those events and the subsequent passage of anti-gay laws.
In other posts on X, Kuteesa has written that “gay is not a sexual orientation,” that boys with “pins in their ears … always turn out to be homos”, and that “African Leaders worry that Obama’s charisma will lead young people into homosexual sin.”
This year’s event features a range of comparatively mainstream speakers alongside two members of another Christian right organization that NCOSE has previously collaborated with: Benjamin Nolot and Helen Taylor from Exodus Cry.
Nolot denied any association with IHOPKC to the Daily Beast in 2020, which reported that the organization was at that time trying to “distance itself from religion” in the midst of its most prominent campaign, Traffickinghub, which accused adult site Pornhub of hosting content featuring victims of sex trafficking and child sexual abuse.
That campaign, which culminated in an online petition with millions of signatures demanding that Pornhub be shut down and its executives prosecuted, and favorable coverage from New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, started with a 2020 op-ed in The Washington Examiner by Laila Mickelwait.
