USA and it's gay citizens turns against Nigeria

Gays all over the world are mobilising for actions against Nigeria over the Same sex Prohibition law signed by President Goodluck Jonathan last week.
The leading gay nation on earth, the USA has already voiced its concern.
Secretary of State, John Kerry, who as a senator in 1996, was one of just 14 U.S. senators to vote against the U.S. Defense of Marriage Act — anti-gay legislation that was partially overturned by the Supreme Court last June, has kicked against the new Nigerian law.
“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,”he said in a statement.
“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.”Blogger, Melanie Nathan has listed the 10 steps gays are going to take against Nigeria in the coming days. She calls them ’10 imperative actions we must undertake as a world community”:
1. Write polite letters to the President of Nigeria expressing your thoughts and explain what being gay really means – and send a copy of your letter to protectlgbt@ gmail.com for publication in this BLOG. (no more than 600 words).
2. Organize protests at Nigerian Consulates and Embassies.
3. Write to the Nigerian Ambassador/ consuls/ President in Nigeria/ in your country – here is an example:http://www.nigeriaembassyusa.org /index.php?page=contact-us
Dear Consul / Ambassador/ President

What these Americans refused to understand is that in Africa we have a culture we still uphold and believe strongly in.  They brought Christianity to us long time ago, we are now following what we have been cultured to know and believe. That cannot easily be changed. Africa is not for gay and gay is not for Africa.
