Nigeria is one of the most hazardous places in the world to be LGBTQ+ with most of the country openly homophobic and religion being the main factor.

This week, You Tube finally stepped up and closed down the Nigerian pastor TB Joshua’s channel after a multitude of reports since its inception in 2016. Only 5 years of spreading hate then eh!
