Nigerians And The Gay Phenomenon by gameaddict(m): 1:38pm On Dec 23, 2011
Hello people!

I've been thinking for days about the sanity of the attempt of certain people to legalize gay persecution in Nigeria. On what grounds do you think this is right?

Is this not a case of the majority using their power to protect their interests? Is it not the same as the church persecuting men like Galileo for practicing science? Is it any different from the killing of twins in Calabar? Is the use of one's religion as the basis of what should be law the right thing to do?

A lot of people are threatened by homosexuality and the thought of how it affects their environmental institutions but they are just being ignorant. Is culture stagnant? Do traditions not change, Do they not realize that this is just social evolution?

Thorstein Veblen once described institutions as nothing but the widely prevalent habits and customs of people which are the current outcome of an age long acquisition of human experience. The acceptance of gay people in society is the next outcome. Like it or not, it will occur.

Me thinks this is just a display of ignorance, fear and foolishness from those who propose and support it? Can anyone prove otherwise?

If you want to argue based on religion, then prove to me that your God actually supports gay persecution by first proving that your religion is the basis by which all men should live and then proving that your God actually exists and your religion is not just the aggregation of your society's subjective tendencies brought about by ignorance.

No man is subject to another man's spiritual inclinations and no one should be persecuted based on subjective tendencies of another man.
