It was amusing to read two articles about Nigeria yesterday. (You might recall that Nigeria is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet, in addition to serving as the home of every spam scam imaginable).
Anyway, that great bastion of morality, Nigeria, is a key country involved with fomenting a split in the US Episcopal church (and worldwide Anglican Communion) over homosexuality. You see, the Nigerians think the gays are bad people. And being such good people, the Nigerians took a stand and have demanded the Anglicans go super anti-gay, or else. More from the Associated Press.
It's therefore ironic, yet not surprising, to read that Nigeria is debating legislation that would be as close to Nazi era laws on gays that I've ever heard of. They want to pass a law making it illegal for gays to associated with each other, and for anyone to read a gay book, etc. (Gay sexual relations are already illegal in Nigeria, with the penalty of jail-time or execution, depending where you live.)
From a second AP story:
Bishop Joseph Ojo, who presides over the congregation at the evangelical Calvary Kingdom Church, contends gay relationships are "foreign to Africans" and should be outlawed..."And you'll know they are Christians by their love.
