Take Nigeria, for example, where those involved in the LGBTQ movement are not met with kindness. Recently, a staggering 67 people were detained by local authorities for celebrating a gay wedding, an act that is outlawed in the country.
From Western Journal:
The “gay suspects” were arrested in southern Delta state’s Ekpan town at about 2 a.m. on Monday at an event where two of them were married, state police spokesman Bright Edafe told reporters. He said that homosexuality “will never be tolerated” in Nigeria.
Arrests of gay people are common in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, where gay people can face up to 14 years in prison under the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act.
Accomplices also face 10 years in prison.
Police in Delta stormed a hotel in Ekpan where the gay wedding was being held and initially arrested 200 people, Edafe told reporters. Later, 67 of them were detained after initial investigations, he said.
He spoke at a police station where the suspects were being paraded.
“The amazing part of it was that we saw two suspects, and there is a video recording where they were performing their wedding ceremony,” he said. “We are in Africa and we are in Nigeria. We cannot copy the Western world because we don’t have the same culture.”
Just imagine the level of outrage in the U.S. if something like that were to happen here. The LGBTQ community is capable of dismantling an entire person's life just because they refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding in this country.
