Nollywood actress, Georgina Onuoha has reacted to the arrest of over 100 alleged homosexuals who were accused of participating in a gay wedding in Delta State.
Earlier today, DSP Bright Edafe, the spokesperson of the command, showcased the suspects at the police headquarters in Asaba.
According to the DSP, the suspects were reportedly hosting a gay wedding at a hotel in the state when law enforcement apprehended them.
On her Instagram page, she expressed that the suspects had not committed a serious enough offence to warrant being paraded.
She pointed out that their lifestyle hadn’t caused harm or resulted in any fatalities, and living as they do is not a sinful act, thus asserting that they merit being left without interference.
She wrote;
“Leave these people alone.
They did not kill, steal or harm anyone.
They are not the cause of Nigeria’s demise and predicaments. Let them live their lives.
You that are busy committing fraud, sleeping around with married men and women, lying etc
You are no better than these folks living their lives.
Until many of you work in the medical field and understand the mechanisms behind sexual orientation, you will continue to live by the preachings of hate many con artist who call themselves pastors have poured into you as preachings.
I laugh at the stupidity of some Nigerians who still believe that sin has categories and being
“gay” is the worst of.. You are only deceiving yourself. In the eyes of God, sin is sin and many of you indulge in worst sins.
I have a poignant question for you Nigerians, Do you think God will give you trophy if you harm or kill any of these people he created in his image and likeness? You will be hailed for committing murder? And you think God will welcome you with his open arms?
What most of you practice is not
Christianity, you are practicing hate and bigotry. If for any reason you think this is a
“western culture ” being brought to Nigeria, then you are the most ignorant of them all.
Hold your politicians and pastors accountable for the anger and poverty you are facing and leave these people alone to live In Peace.
This is not an endorsement of how they live their lives, rather this is about their humanity.
Let them be gay”
