U.S Vows To Pressurise Nigeria To Legalise Ga*y Marriage by AzontoGhost(m): 7:35pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
The US Assistant Secretary of State
for African Affairs, Linda Thomas-
Greenfield has stated
that they would continue to pressurize
Nigeria until it legalizes same se*x
marriage. She made this known on
Monday July 13 during a live-web
chat with journalists in Washington.
"As a government, it
is one of the highest
priorities and
strongest values that
discrimination
against anyone
based on their
se*xual orientation
and gender identity
is wrong. We believe
human rights should
be available to
everybody. As a
policy, we will
continue to press the
government of
Nigeria, as well as
other governments
which have provided
legislation that
discriminate against
the LGBT
community. This is
very much a work in
progress, but I think
you will agree with
me that the law in
Nigeria really went
far in discriminating
against this
community but also
people who associate
with them. So, we
will continue to
press the
government, to press
the legislature to
change these laws
and provide human
rights for all
Nigerian people
regardless of their
sex*ual orientation
With what is
happening in the US,
you can determine
how far we are
willing to go. We
strongly believe
human rights for all
people and we are
particularly opposed
to legislation that
actually targets the
gay community for
discrimination. So
we are prepared to
push this as a policy,
not just in Africa but
across the world.” |
