Demands to stop aid to Nigeria

The US Human Rights Watch has written an open letter to Washington with some rather pointed demands, concerning the current gay witch hunt under way in Nigeria. To date about 30 people have been arrested for being gay, under their new law clobbering gays with up to 14 years jail. A shocking Nazi Germany style round up.

I don't consider that Obama's going to do much. He's too busy trying to take over the world through trade agreements isn't he? He's done fuck all about Sochi. All show and no go, that's Obama.

But it does give an indication of the depth of feeling on this in the LGBT world. Other than that it at least raises the issue of aid. I mean seriously, how many gay tax dollars are being sent to Nigeria as aid? Imagine if you gave bazillions to someone, who said thank you, then arrested you over your sexuality?

The whole letter is here. Here's a snip:
