Secretary Kerry: U.S. deeply concerned by Nigeria’s enactment of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act

Deep Concern with Nigeria’s Enactment of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act

Press Statement

John Kerry Secretary of State Washington, DC

January 13, 2014

The United States is deeply concerned by Nigeria’s enactment of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act.

Beyond even prohibiting same sex marriage, this law dangerously restricts freedom of assembly, association, and expression for all Nigerians.

Moreover, it is inconsistent with Nigeria’s international legal obligations and undermines the democratic reforms and human rights protections enshrined in its 1999 Constitution.

People everywhere deserve to live in freedom and equality. No one should face violence or discrimination for who they are or who they love.

We join with those in Nigeria who appeal for the protection of their fellow citizens’ fundamental freedoms and universal human rights.

Dear Mr. Jon Kery
I’m sure you have heard about the new laws in Nigeria
pertaining to gay marriage. My uncle was married to
a gay person and was worth a lot of money. Right before
he was necklaced he gave me his fortune.
Now I need a discrete partner to help me get it out of
the country as I am a bit odd myself. I thought if
I married a gay American I could come to your country
and we would split this vast fortune.
Please send my your SS number, bank routing number
and $1500 to cover our expenses.
Thanks Robert B. Owatanga. (call me Roberta)

So, should we expect a sharp statement from Kerry to the Saudis? Not.

And they'll probably not mention gay marriage.

first he makes a fool of himself endangering America with the new Iran nuclear deal

then he makes a complete ass of himself proposing “peace terms” for Israel that would have her actually give away more land (and the high, militarily-significant ground at that) to the terrorist murderers seeking her annihilation

now he sticks his nose into foreign countries’ internal social policy decisions, trying to force “gay marriage” on them all

isn’t this fellow married? why doesn’t his wife demand he SHUT UP !?

this guy is even more embarrassing, if that be possible, than was his predecessor! wow!

Um...no. Obama and his administration seem deeply and overly concerned with gay advocacy. Their priorities are mind-boggling. The rest of us are minding our own business.

As you indicated, these fools positions' will likely result in more Christians being killed.

My same thoughts: Are We the end times whore of Babylon? That would kind of suck.

Exactly. Kerry would never make such a request to an Islamic country. Given Nigeria’s large Christian population, I guess he thought he could make it without suffering and real blowback.

This is a FR thread from a few weeks after Benghazi:

"Outreach to Arab Lesbian Gay Bisexual & Transgender Communities(USA in Israel giving LGBT grants) "

forcing blak people in Nigeria to live by a seperate but equal set of rules is pretty much racist. I mean Kerry isn’t demanding this of Saudi, Iraq, Pa E sthhannn or the UAE.
Or the newest imaginary county of Palistine he’s trying to create.

If I were black I’d be pissed.

I bet the number of people openly advocating gay marriage in Nigeria would fit in a phone booth.

If we get punished by an outside (human) entity, then we’re not. If we get punished by the LORD directly (in person), then we are.

Literally. Just shows you that the social engineering demands of a liberal idiot are without bounds or rationality.

“I want X and I will have it NOW”

Liberalism in a sentence.
