Nigeria Passes Anti-Gay Bill

News

Nigeria FlagThe Nigerian parliament has passed an anti-gay bill that criminalises same-sex marriage. The new legislation now means a potential 14 year prison sentence for anyone that illegally marries someone of the same sex.

The House of Representatives passed the Bill unanimously; with Senate President David Mark stating that homosexuality was foreign to Nigerian culture.
