Is Nigeria coming out of the closet?

Well the story is that 18 men got arrested and are facing criminal charges in sharia court.
Why? The silly men wanted to have a huge cross dressing wedding. Some how they were convinced that in some things, Nigeria had moved on.

I mean it is illegal to be openly gay in the country. Have they forgotten that the sharia crew are itching to stone someone to death for heterosexual intercourse (fornication),
Morals are usually a touchy thing. I mean look at the cops bossing people over what they wear.
Then the silly boys decided to plead not guilty. Only in Nigeria will you catch a crook red handed and he will deny it.

We always knew there were gay people in Nigeria, we always heard about the young boys getting molested but turned the other way and did nothing. So it sends a message to people that Nigeria has joined the openly gay revolution (If you cant do anything about abuse, then why do anything about consensual sex). So why is the sharia court mad?

They have sharia mainly in the north and i personally believe that the highest percentage of gay men are northers (no offense to anyone from the north).

I think a stand needs to be taken. Is Nigeria a secular country or a religious one?
Is sharia in control?
Is it okay to be gay?
As a girl will i get harassed for wearing a little skirt on the streets of Lagos?

Personally i think the issues of security, police bullying and police-thief mirage need to be sorted out before some bigot harasses me for my mode of dress.

Priorities are misplaced i think. The poor lads even though they were stupid are just scape goats for a problem that has been overlooked for years. At least they were consenting to be gay and not being abused or abusing anyone.

I think today i am just randomly rambling and a little ticked off. I'm going off to clear my head.
