Ms Elizabeth Funke Obisanya (Hrh), a Christian LGBT film maker (Producer – Magdas lesbian lover – MLL©) seen here at the Zafaa Film awards submitters event last month , added to the argument - “ the law not only took away the rights of LGBTs to be who they are – Jesus paid the penalty price we are told in Galatians 3:13 so why the persecutions the law creates an environment of persecution and sufferings for the LGBTs community. Many have been thrown out of their homes, jobs, families, beaten up and publically humiliated - all backed up by the President and the Senators.
At a time when most of the African Nations have taken the anti gay stance would Nigeria break away from the homophobic fold and do what is right according to the Nigerian Constitution and allow equal rights for ALL NIGERIANS? Or would the senators and Goodluck Jonathan remain in violation of their respective oaths to Nigerians and the nation?
