I like that you use a lot of well-placed evidence to support your main points. The main concepts are very clear, that the anti-homosexual laws are an issue in Nigeria. Since the laws were created in 2014, do you happen to know if anything has changed since then?

DeleteCoincidentally, in 2013 Desmond Tutu was known to say he "would rather go to hell than to a homophobic heaven," and in 2015 his daughter married a woman. She used to be a priest but the Church excluded her from continuing on... The first gay men were put on trial in 2019 and the trials are still continuing as far as I can tell. I should have made this more clear in the article, but thank you for asking.
DeleteIt was surprising to learn that Nigeria, the country with Africas biggest economy, is still so far behind in regards to their view on the LGBTQ community. Thank you for shining light on an issue that doesn't get enough attention.
