An Evening with Gay Nigerian Activist Mac-IyallaHosted by Trinity Episcopal Cathedral June 27th, 2007.Davis Mac-Iyalla, 35, is founder and director of the country's only gay-rights organization, Changing Attitude-Nigeria, which advocates for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in the Anglican Church and elsewhere in Nigeria. The Episcopal Church is the American wing of the worldwide Anglican Communion, which includes 80 million members in 154 countries. In 2003, the Episcopal Church consecrated the Rev. V. Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop. Nigerian Archbishop Peter Akinola has been a leading critic against the ordination of gay bishops and the inclusion of GLBT persons in the life of the church. Mac-Iyalla is a leading voice fighting a proposed bill in his country that would make it illegal for gays to organize, meet in public, or even visit a GLBT website. He has received numerous death threats for his activism, has been fired from his job as a school principal, and forced to live in exile in a neighboring country in West Africa. Prior to declaring his homosexuality, he was an active member of the Anglican Church of Nigeria. In May 2007, he convened a meeting of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activists from seven West African countries, for the first regional conference of its kind. His recent tour of the U.S. has taken him to 20 cities, and he has addressed the executive council of the Episcopal Church about the dangers faced by GLBT Nigerians.

homosexuality is not new it was just very well hidden and thought of as shameful by society and still is. You only are noticing it now because gays are now standing up for their rights and coming out of the shadows

I don't like gay activity (Is that a crime?).I'm not going to bash or degrade and insult people just because they are gay. All my friends that are gay(especially men) knows that i don't like it. At the same time, they know i'm not going to tell them to "Stop what they are doing, and repent". (They know i'm Never going to say that). Because I believe everyone has the right to be who they want to be. And i'm tired of arguing with you about my own country history, so i give up.
