Topic: Homosexual Rights in Africa

“To each his own”! I am an African myself and I was extremely concerned and outraged when I saw the latest news article wherein Nigeria among many other nations in Africa, continue to terrorize and criminalize gays and lesbians for engaging in same sex activities, even for as little as for holding meetings. I think those laws are too barbarous, they need to be looked into from a sociological perspective as a whole and abolished as it violates human rights standards and causes more harm than good.

The Washington Post article I'm referring to can be found via the below link or by Googling other similar news articles from major newspapers world-wide:
