Nigeria is not a safe place to be queer in. But the immediate, real threat to my desire for the authenticity I felt was waiting for me on the other side of coming out was my family.

LGBTQ+ people experience homelessness at higher rates not because there is something wrong with us or with being LGBTQ+, but because of homophobia, transphobia and other kinds of bias and bigotry.
