The SSMPA also impos a 10-year prison sentence on anyone who registers or participat gay clubs or anisatns, as well anyone who shows support for the activi of such anisatns. It is this sectn of the act that led to the arrt of 47 gay men a hotel last year (their trial is still ongog).

THE NIGERIANS LURED TO A TRAP AND BLACKMAILED FOR BEG GAY

In Lagos, partyg is fundamental to gay people’s liv sce ’s an easy way to socialise, make iends and to meet potential partners. If you want to get ved to one of the gathergs then you eher have to be gay or have gay iends who love partyg.

Whatever type of social animal you are, the gay folks of Lagos have nfirmed to me that beg a circle is easit way to know what’s on. You will equently fd hot-bodied gay men dancg on tabl wh their shirts off and shots of absthe makg their way around the hoe.

Some practic have to rema unrground but all tak is a ltle ncentratn to fd proof that gay people are termed to nurture their own subculture, spe mastream opposn.

That hotel you love to vis but was closed to visors last weekend was probably hostg a very gay party or maybe a big fat gay weddg.
