GAY TRUTH

ABUJA, Nigeria , February 3, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Western governments and media around the world are attacking Nigeria’s Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act, 2013, which outlaws same-sex “marriage” as well as propagandizing by the homosexualist lobby. However, one of the few voices giving public support is that of the Nigerian Catholic bishops, who have issued a statement congratulating the government for the passage of the law. The president of the Nigerian Catholic bishops’ conference, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Jos, wrote to the president saying that the government’s decision “not to bow to international pressure in the promotion of unethical and immoral practices of same sex union and other related vices” is “a courageous one and a clear indication of the ability of our great country to stand shoulders high in the protection of our Nigerian and African most valued cultures of the institution of marriage and protection of the dignity of the human person.” Arch

WASHINGTON, D.C. , January 15, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and other top diplomatic brass are criticizing the African nation of Nigeria after President Goodluck Jonathan signed a new law banning same-sex “marriage.” Both Secretary Kerry and his predecessor, Hillary Clinton, have said that promoting the gay “rights” agenda around the world is a “top priority” for U.S. foreign policymakers. The Obama administration has made promoting homosexuality around the world a priority. “The United States is deeply concerned by Nigeria’s enactment of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act,” Secretary Kerry said in a  statement  Monday.   “It is inconsistent with Nigeria’s international legal obligations and undermines the democratic reforms and human rights protections enshrined in its 1999 Constitution.” U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said via Twitter  that she was “deeply troubled” by President Jonathan’s decision to sign th

ABUJA, December 10, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The Nigerian government has put the  Western world  on notice that if the cost of accepting aid is to allow same-sex couples to “marry,” that’s a price the country is unwilling to pay.  Nigeria’s House of Representatives recently unanimously approved a bill banning same-sex unions, despite threats from the  Obama administration  and  United Kingdom Prime Minister   David Cameron  that they would consider withholding aid if the country didn’t recognize gay rights.  The bill would impose a 14-year prison sentence on anyone who enters a “same-sex marriage contract or civil union” or aids and abets such an action.  Public displays of affection between homosexuals would result in a ten-year jail sentence.  The bill also bans gay clubs and organizations. “[Same-sex ‘marriage’] is alien to our society and culture and it must not be imported,” said  House majority leader  Mulikat Adeola-Akande. “This practice has no place in our culture, r

ABUJA, Nigeria, December 14, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Nigeria’s Catholic bishops are praising the country’s Senate for its “courageous and hope-inducing decision” to pass a bill outlawing same-sex unions and public displays of homosexuality last month. The bill,  passed  Nov. 29th, came amidst threats by foreign leaders, especially U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron , of aid cuts if Image via Wikipedia  African countries fail to enshrine special rights for homosexuals. On December 7th, the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria issued a  statement  saying the vote to outlaw same-sex unions and “all such public manifestations” came as a “great relief” to most Nigerians . “We wish to strongly support the prohibition of same-sex union as an expression both of our cultural values as Nigerians and our religious belief as Christians,” they wrote.

The bill, which now moves to the lower house and will need the signature of Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan , establishes that the state only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman.  It imposes a 14-year sentence for same-gendered couples that attempt to wed and a 10-year sentence for those who witness or assist at a same-sex “wedding”. It also bans involvement in homosexual activist groups and public displays of affection by homosexual couples. “If there is any country that wants to stop giving aid because we won’t pass the bill on same sex marriage, that country can go ahead,” said Sen. David Mark, president of the upper house. “We are a sovereign nation and we have the right to decide for ourselves because no country can inte
