I read Mr. Philip Amiola's article with interest and great amusement. I quite enjoyed it. He had valid points and perhaps if my views didn't lie with the opposition, I might have been hailing it as the best thing ever to happen to the straight voice.
Just because a bunch of society's minorities have stood up to defend their rights as human beings they have become evil?? Somebody needs to wake me up from this ignorance that seems to abound of late. Are we not all equal before God and man or when did that change?? Members of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, BiSexual & Transgender) community have for most of their lives, been oppressed and sought after for torment and to be made mockery of. For years and even centuries, it has been illegal to be gay. Many have lived in fear and because they have gotten tired of being beaten down, and decided to take a stand they are now evil? Please spare me this rudimentary bull and shit. Apologies, I am starting off with such aggression, I might try to tone down the anger but then again, those that have hate towards LGBT never tone down the hate or the venom they feel. So…

Now according to this article, the gays are "attempting to transmogrify the marriage institution". Please! When did the gays ever threaten the sanctity of marriage? Oh you mean when Mr. Jones sees Maxwell and Akin kisses in public, he feels his marriage to Mrs. Jones is a problem and suddenly becomes batty overnight? Or is it when young kids see the gays, they suddenly feel the marriage their parents have is so boring and immediately identify as gay? And excuse me, sorry o but why is the idea of a gay marriage appalling? Two folks love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together and you say because they are two men or two women they shouldn't???
Who stopped and made you lot the rule makers? What is unnatural about gays and gay marriage? Must everything be the way society demands it? Oh yes the moral high ground. Yes Christianity says no. Islam says Haram. Ok! When you lot finish drinking your moral cup of water, let me know. You do remember "he who is without sin cast the first stone". Atink I see you have carried rocks o.
You speak of family as the centre and unit. How exciting!! So explain this for me Mr. Amiola, "Good families are a product of healthy marriages". Really?! Really?! Hiaan! So what about people who have grown up in homes without parents, kids whose fathers or mothers abandoned them and were either brought up by a single parent or grandparents. Kids who didn't have the wonderful family unit of marriage – what do you say to this dear kind sir, are they the ones causing the "gayism" you seem to detest with such passion?? I thought the true definition of family is a group of people together who love each other and care for each other? What is wrong in a kid having two mums or two dads? Remind me again how this affects your own family unit?
It's disheartening for you to put down the works of gay activists and movements. These men and women fight for the rights of your fellow human beings. For you to claim "gay rights movements are on a mission to distort our fundamental values and topple the foundational structures of our society" is pure jokes. I swear, I find it hilarious. This is the same society that is riddle with all sorts. Corruption is threatening the very existence of the society and it's the gays that are the issues? What would you say about the environmental activists, are they being a pain in society's butt too?? All these people want to do is live their lives, is that so hard to allow?
You happily praise the National Assembly for (almost) passing a bill – but how can you ban what doesn't even exist? Nah! I am not even going to go into the technicality of that wretched bill – let's go back to the issues: what makes a gay man different from you dear sir? He is a man just like you. Likes sports, loves video games, talks politics with you at the beer parlour, drives a car or climbs okada with you, stands in the queue with you in the bank and at the cinemas. He is a man like you!!
I would believe that whatever the gays and the lesbians did in the privacy of their homes and bedrooms wouldn't concern you as whatever you do with your other half concern the rest of the world unless you are into some freaky deaky stuff. Are you going to hate your PA because he tells you he is gay? Or your little cousin who you carried as a young girl? Think of it dear sir, if one if yours was batty, would you carry out your exorcism because you feel you have been appointed? If God is angry with the LGBTs then let the almighty himself do justice but that justice and that finger pointing is not for you and the fellow straights you are eagerly gearing up.
Remember the gays have always been here since time and let me break it down for you: they ain't going anywhere, learn to deal with it.
Mr. Amiola is definitely entitled to his own opinions and these are simple mine.
