orgasticdance: Homophobia is not unique to Nigerians. Even in the west people hate homosexuals, but the tolerance level is higher than it is in africa. The Nigerian brand of homophobia is peculiar because we're very religous and that informs our perspectives on most things. Unfortunately, the politial class, who should know better, have capitalized on that sentiment and made things worse by passing that anti-gay law. But there's hope. I'm part of that 8% of Nigerians who believe homosexuals have the right to their private matter. It's their business, not mine. Do I find sexual relations between a man and a man deplorable and unnatural? Absolutely, but in so far as they are not in my way with their homosexuality, I will breathe easy.
Open disclosure: I am Nigerian. I have lived here all my life, and I have a friend who is a homosexual.
You raised two important points Religion and the Uniqueness to Nigeria which i think most people will agree because that the basis of their sentiments. First let talk about the Religion, ie Christianity and Islam which are the 2 major religion that talks against homosexuality. Firstly, Christianity made it way to Africa in Egypt in the middle of the 1st century. The first Christian contact in Nigeria occurred in the fifteenth century when the Portuguese introduced Roman Catholicism. For Islam, The presence of Islam in Africa can be traced to the seventh century and finally in Nigeria two centuries later. So in other words they are both foreign religions in the first place. which now beg the question, Is there any sign of homosexuality in Africa prior this two religions? The answer is simple YES! The first record of possible homosexual couple in history is commonly regarded as Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, an ancient Egyptian male couple, who lived around 2400 BCE.

Iyk-Baba:
Why haven't u imagined why God destroyed sodom and gomorrah?
The biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah is recorded in Genesis chapters 18-19. Genesis chapter 18 records the Lord and two angels coming to speak with Abraham. The Lord informed Abraham that "the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous." Verses 22-33 record Abraham pleading with the Lord to have mercy on Sodom and Gomorrah because Abraham's nephew, Lot, and his family lived in Sodom.
Genesis chapter 19 records the two angels, disguised as human men, visiting Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot met the angels in the city square and urged them to stay at his house. The angels agreed. The Bible then informs us, "Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom — both young and old — surrounded the house. They called to Lot, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.'" The angels then proceed to blind all the men of Sodom and Gomorrah and urge Lot and his family to flee from the cities to escape the wrath that God was about to deliver. Lot and his family flee the city, and then "the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah — from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities..."
In light of the passage, the most common response to the question "What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?" is that it was homosexuality. That is how the term "sodomy" came to be used to refer to anal sex between two men, whether consensual or forced. Clearly, homosexuality was part of why God destroyed the two cities. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to perform homosexual gang rape on the two angels (who were disguised as men). At the same time, it is not biblical to say that homosexuality was the exclusive reason why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were definitely not exclusive in terms of the sins in which they indulged.

Juell: Is it normal for a man to be sticking his joystick in another man's shit hole?
Its just too disgusting to imagine.
im guessing you mean to say Abnormal right? but don't you think it kinda narrow minded to only think about sex when two adults are choosing a companion or who they wanna send the rest of their life with? I agree, as you said could be disgusting but shouldn't what they do in the corner of their room be their own cup of tea?

This forum do not propagate or intend to impose any personal opinion. All views will be treated with respect...
Recently, there was a pool result claiming 92% of Nigerian disapprove Homosexuality. So im curious, why do most people think this is wrong and gays should be jailed or even killed? , What personal experience and believe do you base you conclusions on?
