I have slept with Nigerian pastors, senator – Gay Nigerian man, Kenny Badmus

Nigerian gay activist, Kenny Badmus, says the hypocrisy about
homosexuality in Nigeria is alarming as the people who condemn it
openly are into it secretly.

Badmus in an interview with the Punch revealed that he had once slept
with a Nigerian senator and equally had sexual relationship with
pastors.

He urged Nigerians still hiding their sexuality to come out and stop
being hypocrites.

He said: "The elephant in the room is denial. We pretend these things
are not here. We blame it on the devil or white people. I once slept
with a Nigerian Senator, and I'm not surprised he will be the first to
put his hands up voting in favour of the same-sex marriage prohibition
act.

"While in Nigeria, I had sex with church ministers who would come in
the open to preach against homosexuality as though it was the reason
why Nigeria never had constant electricity. The hypocrisy is
deafening.

"We didn't learn about same-sex relationships from western countries.
Some of my first same-sex encounters were mostly with people who
didn't speak English at all or ever set their feet in a Western school
environment.

"Gay people are not the only ones who need to come out. We all need to
look into our lives and be upfront with ourselves. Am I living my
authentic life or am I living it to please families and friends? To
come out is to confront shame and limitations to live our most
authentic life."
