VANCOUVER, B.C. — On Tuesday, the U.S. will meet a Nigeria team in the Women’s World Cup that has won new fans with its entertaining play in this tournament. But the Super Falcons have also been affected off the field by their country’s increasingly harsh stance against homosexuality.

Last year, Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan signed a new law that made it a criminal act to be involved in homosexual behavior or be a member of a gay club. Gay marriage is also outlawed. Those who break the law face a jail term of up to 14 years. Several countries and their diplomats have publicly criticized the Nigerian law, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.

“Nigeria is a society that’s very conservative and deeply religious,” a Nigerian who’s connected to the women’s soccer team told SI.com this week, requesting anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the topic. “The north is deeply Muslim. The southeast is deeply Christian, and the southwest is split Muslim and Christian. So you have this very religious country with strong cultural ties and beliefs.”

The Nigerian source named two players in his/her opinion who would be on Nigeria’s current World Cup team if they were not thought to be publicly gay. What’s more, the source estimated that over the years 30 to 40 percent of the Nigerian women’s team has been gay or bisexual—mostly on the down-low—adding that it’s not possible for a player to be publicly gay to the media and wider world in today’s climate.

“Here’s what might happen to a [Nigerian] player who comes out and says, ‘I’m gay’: You barely can go home anymore,” the Nigerian said. “Even if you have a couple people in your family who say, ‘Don’t worry, we like you and trust you,’ we are still communal at heart. So now your parents, your brothers and sisters are going to go back to village, and people are going to point at them and make snide stories and talk. Your family gets put into songs. That’s a stigma. If a player comes out and says, ‘I’m gay,’ then the trouble doesn’t just start and end with the player. It goes all the way back to the family:

The honest truth is that in the west only 5% of men between the ages of 18 -45 are gay.

The evil media is controlled by gays and they play this gay drama and stereotype beyond it's actual realms.

Want a sitcom? Get the handsome straight dudes, the funny guy, the beautiful blonde, the cool black guy and don't forget to throw in the nice, smart gay guy.

The faggotrons that control the media want us to accept gay life and so keep portraying it as normal.
