Gay Rights: Nigerian Homosexual Writes Open Letter

Gay people in Nigeria are becoming bolder » ,

audacious and obviously intrepid these days with the way they

are coming out of the closets, to let people know they have the

right to practise their sex orientation.

As Nigerians grapple with this alien culture, this young man who

calls himself Proudly Gay Nigerian Man » , has come

out with this open letter to justify his preference to being what

he is. He is asking why Nigerians can't let him and his ilk be and

instead divert their hatred to fighting other vices in the country.

Read his letter here:

Have you men ever solemnly considered what it is

about homosexuals » that scare you? I use the

word homosexuals to refer to both lesbians and gays,

but I’ll tell you this, I am really interested in talking about

homophobia as it concerns gay men, because for some reason

that is beyond me, we never seem to be angry or threatened by

lesbians.

In fact I have heard one too many times how exciting

the thought of two women doing it could be, but

however connected the case of lesbian – acceptance is

to homophobia against men, I won’t be addressing it here.

So, what is it about two men getting hot and heavy with

each other that seem to terrify y’all? This is not the time

to whip out your Holy books at me, keep them aside

for a second, will you?

Do you really imagine that you have a sense of

propriety when you openly declare your hate for the

gays? No, really why do we hate the gays? Is it some

deeper issue that I have yet to understand or a mere case of

hypocrisy?

I just want a sensible reason why I should take a piss on

the rights of individuals who feel love and/or attraction

for each other; I have not found it yet.

So if you can give me one, please do, however, no

religious based arguments, chances are that you’ve

broken most of the rules yourself. I mean, you’re not

Jesus, the perfect son of God.

In anticipation of the event that no one can come up

with a logical reason for homophobia, I’ll advise that

you channel your contempt for the gays to contempt

for our thieving leaders; the man/woman who (sexually) abused

your sister, brother, wife, mother; Boko Haram; ignorance;

hypocrisy, and the many other zillion things that mess up

Nigeria.
