Hi Arfin,

In Nigeria, simply being gay can land you a jail sentence of ten years. This week, the Nigerian Senate is considering an anti-gay marriage bill that would make it a punishable offense to even help a gay couple get married.

Stand up for LGBT Nigerians. »

The government of Nigeria allows its Senate to vote on the bill without even staging a public comment period.

The LGBT citizens of Nigeria deserve fair and equal treatment, not further prejudice. Tell the Nigerian Senate to craft legislation reflecting the needs of all of its people.

Tell the Nigerian Senate to throw out the anti-gay marriage bill this week. »

Thanks for taking action!
