The Anglican Church in Nigeria Thursday said it welcomes government decision to push for legislation to outlaw homosexuality. The government said it will introduce legislation to punish homosexuality by up to five years in jail and ban same-sex marriages. A spokesman for Nigeria’s Anglican Church described homosexuality as an abomination.
The spokesman for the Anglican church in Nigeria, Reverend Tunde Popoola, says the proposed ban is appropriate. The Anglican community in Nigeria has long waged a vigorous campaign against homosexuals, as Reverend Popoola explains.
My fiancee and I just got back from hearing Archbishop Desmond Tutu speak at our campus this evening. It was an extremely inspirational event, filled with messages of love, hope, forgiveness, remorse, freedom, and peace.
I cannot imagine that the Archbishop would approve of this endorsement.
