New law, old prejudices threaten gay Nigerians
published Monday, December 11, 2006
LAGOS, Nigeria -- In the Muslim north of Nigeria, Bisi Alimi could be stoned to death for being having gay sex. In the south, he could face three years in prison. Now, a proposed law would make it illegal just to share a meal at a cafe with gay friends.
The proposal under debate in Nigeria's House of Representatives would outlaw not just gay marriages, but any form of association between gay people, social or otherwise, and publication of any materials deemed to promote a "same-sex amorous relationship."
Anyone attending a meeting between gay people, even two friends in a private house, could receive a sentence of five years under the act. Engaging in homosexual acts is already illegal in Nigeria, with those convicted facing jail terms in the south and execution in the north.
Few in Nigeria's deeply closeted gay community are publicly opposing the bill and it is widely expected to pass.
"This meeting, right here, would be illegal," says activist Alimi, stabbing the air with a French fry for emphasis as he sits at a table with three gay friends and a reporter. "We could be arrested for talking about this. You could be arrested for writing about us."
Other activities specifically prohibited under the proposed law include participating in gay clubs, or reading books, watching films or accessing Internet sites that "promote" homosexuality.

Ruotsin lesbot taas vaativat, että invalidi, joka ostaa seksiä ilotytöltä pitää aina tuomita 1 - 4 vuoden vankeusrangaistukseen.
Miksi pitäisi olla suvaitsevainen ryhmää kohtaan, joka ei itse ole suvaitsevainen toista ryhmää kohtaan.
