I really was'nt surprised
when i read that a bill banning Gay Rights had been
passed, outlawing organizations supporting gay
rights and setting prison terms of up to 14 years for
offenders, the bill is presently waiting for the
presidents approval. Now that's a very bold step and
a call to battle with all the human rights and gay
rights organizations across the world. With France
joining in the league of countries supporting gay
rights, gay rights activism has gathered more
strength and momentum. The issue of gay rights is
fast becoming a reality that might not hit Africa any
time soon as much as it has hit Europe, The United
States and other parts of the world, and maybe it
will when a tangible number of citizens of Nigeria
come out to say "i am gay and i'm proud to be gay "
which is not going to happen anytime soon with the
bill banning gay rights passed, i'm sure nobody
wants to spend 14years in prison over 'ass' except if
you are hoping that you can get a shot at making a
gay love story out of it. A part of me thinks that
Nigeria's decision on gay rights might be a little bit
too strict, and its crazy that 'homosexuality' would be
treated as a crime, thats only raises questions about
Nigeria's stand with Human Rights. For a country
with a very diverse culture where everybody is either
christian or muslim, its going to take a whole lot to
get Nigeria to accommodate homosexuals. The
British government recently threatened to cut aid to
African countries that violate the rights of gay and
lesbian citizens. However, British aid remains quite
small in oil-rich Nigeria, one of the top crude
suppliers to the US.Nigeria's proposed law has drawn
the interest of EU countries, some of which already
offer Nigeria's
sexual minorities asylum based on gender identity, o
boy! that sounds like easy visa for so many Nigerians
and i wont be surprised if all men begin dey form
homosexual, its not even funny yo!. I keep wondering
what life would be like for homosexual Nigerians, its
like their dreams of having a gay bar one day is never
going to be a reality. Have you ever tried to picture
how they might be feeling right now?? and what its
like to be Gay and Nigerian?!! damn! whats the worst
that could happen?. i want to laugh so hard but then
i remember that it actually is'nt funny. i do not
support homosexuality but im never going to snitch
if ever i stumble on a gay couple lol. honestly yall , if
you ask me ill tell you straight up that homosexuality
has no place in our society and thats just the
Nigerian reality. i got into an argument many months
ago about gay rights and the other guy wanted to
know how i would feel if being 'straight' was
considered a crime, then i said to him that "if the law
says its a crime then its my responsibility to obey it".
As a straight Nigerian Man ill probably never get
used to seeing gay men running around town, its just
not us, its not our thing and the world can chill out a
bit on trying to force and rush us into making certain
decisions.. i really dont know if ive made any sense
lmao
peace yall!!
