In Nigeria: Protesters demand Executions for 11 Gay Men


More bad news in Nigeria.

Thousands of protesters showed up at the Shariah court, demanding for the convictions and executions of 11 gay men.

It got so bad that security officials had to fired into the sky to break up the hostile crowd. At this time, the defense counsel couldn't submit an application for bail, and the defendants couldn't give testimony. But what scary about all of this is their fate is so unknown. Just last week, a man was publicly whipped and fined for sodomy. And that was the court being lenient...

More to come on these 11 gay men.
