its a different thing if u call your self homophobic, i wouldn't unless u said something that warranted it and its not your duty to try to tell people how to live, if i was lesbian, u can preach to me all u want, i wont listen and as long as u respect my space and not come within  2ft of me cause whatever i do to u (or any so called preacher) will be justified. take that to heart.

Nigerians are copycats. Whatever happens overseas especially in America, we want to copy it. Be it good or bad. We are fast loosing our traditions, culture and now our morals because of this. I bet you that in the next 10yrs, gay marriages will be legalised in naija. Why? Its the in thing for countries to do now. I have no qualms with a gay person as long as he keeps his distance and limits his antics to the confines of his room. Why the sudden interest anyway? Gay relationships have been there in naija from the origin. What is the clamour for? Again, people tend to think once you don't approve of gay people, you are some kind of prehistoric person. I agree, mankind has evolved and civilisation has reached a record high but is perversion and moral decadence part of civilisation? Must I do what I hate to show I am moving with the trends of time? Homosexualism is unnatural. If all men were to turn gay, there will be no procreation. Mankind will be wiped out. However, I believe people should be allowed to make whatever choices they are comfortable with. I mean, its your funeral anyway. My consolation is that no matter how confused and misled a few of us become, a larger percentage can still think straight and know what is right and wrong.

As far as I'm concerned, the NIgerian government should concentrate more on the betterment of the state that Nigeria is in, rather than trying to ban same sex relationships. The political trauma is somewhat shocking and as rich as the country is, most individuals are living below the poverty line.

Big deal if Adam decides to bed Adam.  What effect will that have on the economic and social trauma that the country is in? I think none!

People should stop disciminating and just let them be.  I'm glad that I live in a democratic country, SA, and hope that leaders in other other African countries could follow suite.

I describe the issue of homosexuality as insane and humiliating.
all religions, as we all know, do not support sodomy.
I feel bad that this issue is even discussed in Nigeria.we all have to stand against it.
sodomy is a sin and those who practice it should stop it.
It is deadly.
just as we all know, Nigerians are more are of higher moral values than all the countries that permit homosexuality.
so we all should just stand and kick against homosexuality.
we must wipe it out.
Defaulters must be punished.

@Donzman
You continue to state that if we allow every one to marry who they wish, why can't we allow mothers to marry their sons.Can you name one country that allows mothers to marry sons, and daughters, their fathers? This arguement is illogical. Of the countries that allow same sex marriage not one has gone to that route, why do you think it will be different in Nigeria. Have you come across a Nigerian in-love with his mum? Please stay on the issue and stop being paranoid because of your prejudice. After the second world war when Jews were emigrating to America, even priest and pastors were warning against allowing Jews into America, for fear it might bring "Jewmocracy", social unrest etc. And in London where you live, Enoch Powell warned in the 60s that allowing so many black people in England would precipitate a "River of Blood". Suffice to say none of the above ever came to fruition.My point is some people are always scared of change, they fear the unknown weather rightly or wrongly. Gays marrying each other is the least of Nigeria's problem.

In the Atlantic Journal Constitution, a newspaper in Atlanta, Georgia. A Black Journalist called African Americans the most homophobic people in America.

Why are African Americans viewed as so homophobic?

It is because we believe that people are more than their sexual preferences.

The very idea that someone should be named by the way they like to have sex, is a strange idea to African Americans.

This belief gave birth to the idea of the "downlow" a condition where "we don't want to know your sexual business and you better not tell us."

President Clinton brought this African American idea to the US ARMY, where they developed the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Even within the "gay" community there is often discrimination against taking African American lovers -- not based on race but based on the fact that African Americans no matter what -- generally still have kids and are fathers and mothers, first before they are "gay". A lot of white gays apparently do not want to be burdened with lovers who have children.

While African American "gays" know that it is expected of them to be complete and whole people, who contribute back to the African American community with children and family's.

I have a "formerly gay" brother, who is married with 3 children and 2 grandchildren which him and his wife have custody of. He is so proud of being a husband and father and grandfather.

We don't know if he has ever told his wife that he used to be gay. We are not absolutely sure that his "gay" relationships can be charecterized as "gay".

The only "man" we have ever saw him with weighed less than 100 pounds was about 5 feet tall and has the body of a 10 year old girl. If you saw this so called "man", you would not know that it was a "man" unless you were told. "He" was very lightskinned and pretty and had the body of a small demure woman.

My brother on the other hand is a very large, tall and dark skinned person. So they always had the appearance of a big black man and a small lightskinned woman.

And since of course nobody ever asked and my brother did not tell, many people probably do not know to this day that the "woman" they met with my brother, was in fact a "man".

I prefer the African American way of keeping things on the downlow and out of the face of your family.

What freaky way you like to have sex, is your private business. All of us, including gays, should keep that type of stuff to oneself and ones partner.

Oyinbo,

You have actually hit on one of the most important points.

What about starving people? People in poverty?

Gays in America have often taken advantage of the poverty of others to seduce them into doing "gay" sex acts.

I have seen films of the Gay white sex spots all over the world, in South America, you can go to the airport any day of the week and see the boy and girl children waiting for rich whites to get off the plane, so that they can offer themselves as sex toys to the rich whites.

In Asia where the tsunami hit, child pornography, kidnapping for the purpose of selling the child into sexual slavery is a big part of their tourism industry, that is why so many foreigners were there to get trapped in the tsunami.

You can order your boy sex slave over the internet right now and book your hotel and airplane ride all at the same internet website.

Nigerians already seem to have a problem with selling their children for a few bucks as househelp because of their poverty. Where the girls are often raped. Nigerians also have a problem with their women being shipped all over the world for jobs, that turn out to be jobs as hookers on the streets of paris or london or in someone's house.

I have no doubt that if gay becomes just as acceptable as straight there will spring up Nigerian pimps and madams who offer the little boys to white gay tourists.

I'm going to say this and then people can complain about how unbecoming it is later.

White Americans are obsessed with the privates of Black Males. When they would lynch Black Males, they would remove their privates and balls and keep these as souvenirs. In America there was a whole genra of books dedicated to the Black American Penis. These books were written by white women under psedonym male names.

Over 300 years ago, one white frenchman stayed in Africa measuring the privates size of Africans for 30 years!

White writers have called the large privates of the black male a sword that kills white women.

Nigerians if they legalized gay marriages and unions and gayness in general?

Would end up with all the white people they want in Nigeria and then some. The whites will be coming to taste the large privates of Nigerian little boys.

And poverty and hunger would make many Nigerian parents vunerable to selling their little children.

I say Nigerians need to have laws against gayness, just to prevent the same gay sex spots of white tourists from being set up in Nigeria as they are set up in Asia, South America, etc.

@topic,


This law that seems atrocious in that it allows for sort of a witch hunt against anybody who might unknowingly be in the house or doing business with a gay person.

Scale the law back to just outlaw being openly gay. A nice don't ask, don't tell policy. Would be my suggestion.

@drusilla
ok suggestion but still not enough, the idea of "a don't ask don't tell policy" works in the military because there are more inportant things on their agenda than worry about one's sexuality. A person sexuality doesn't necessarily and shouldn't affect the way they perform in the military. Now how will u ask someone  not to be openly gay? What happens when they want to put their spouse or their will, lease, insurance plan etc?. Wouldn't the gays list their partners as their spouse so they can enjoy the same benefits as straight couples?. How then can they hide being gay?.

 
And how can u say that homosexuals take advantage of poor people by helping them in exchange for gay acts or engage in child pornograhphy and prostitution. Don't straight people do it too? Or is it now OK when straight people do it?. Gay people are the least of our worries when it comes to eradicating criminal acts like that. Gay people have suffered enough hate crime. Refrain from pinning the rest of our worries on homosexuals.

In America it is said that:

95+ percent of gay men have been raped by a male as a child.
95+ percent of female prostitutes have been raped by a male as a child.

All na excuse!
95% of wife molesters and rapists were abused as a child.
95% of murderers had a dysfunctional childhood
95% of drug addicts were pushed into it by their parents. . . .

95% of criminals have one excuse or the other why they should not be held responsible for their crimes!

Davidlyn,

Whether you degrade it as an excuse or excuse it by calling it a reason. It all boils down to this:

We all have to do this:

Neh 9:2  And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins and the sins of their fathers.

Or suffer the consequences in our own lives.

@ Drusilla

Not true:

Please read the entire chapter of Ezekiel 18:
Here is just one verse: 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

No one should use the sins of his father as cover for his own iniquities, every man should stand accountable for his own actions! Not hiding under the banner of child abuse. If we were all to use that as an excuse then EVERY Nigerian has a legitimate claim to have suffered one form of child abuse or the other.
