The umbrella🌂🌂stand for queer
It is my lifestyle
The life I choose to live

No matter how you are rejected💆💆💆
Either family members,relation or friends
Regardless of your sexual orientation
Trust me God did not reject you
He is there to put smile on your face
To shackle away that mockery,isolation and depression☝👉👈

On Monday (Jan. 13, 2014), President Goodluck Jonathan signed into law the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, which parliament passed in May. The law follows a similar one passed in Uganda in December, which imposes life imprisonment for some types of homosexual acts.
Across Africa, homosexuality is often viewed as a violation of cultural and religious values. Gay sex is outlawed in 38 African countries, according to the International Lesbian, Gay, Trans and Intersex Association. In 13 African countries, homosexuality is legal or there are no laws banning it.
In Mauritania, Sudan and northern Nigeria, homosexuality is punishable by death. Offenders can receive life imprisonment in Uganda, Tanzania and Sierra Leone.
