Reverend stands up for homosexuality in Nigeria

Reverend stands up for homosexuality in Nigeria: "While most African churches condemn homosexuality and most governments ban it outright, a gay Nigerian minister has set up a ministry for gay Christians in Nigeria's largest city, Lagos.
On the outskirts of Lagos, a gay ordained minister is bellowing 'Hallelujah!' from a church dressed in the colourful rainbow flag. His ministry has become a refuge for about 30 gay Christian men in West Africa's largest city, some of whom have lost their jobs, been thrown out by their families, and suffered abuse by friends or the police because of whom they choose to love."
