"And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman and brought her unto the man"
The issue of same sex marriage is a question as old as time. One of the most widely read and acclaimed books in the world today (the Bible) describes the first union which as ordained by God was between a man and a woman, not man and man or woman and woman. The question of right or wrong as regards to gay relationships has its answers in the moral and spiritual beliefs of the individual which varies from place to place, and person to person. What may be considered right in the south may be a taboo in the north and what is acceptable in the west may be considered criminal by the law elsewhere.
In nigeria today the bill crminalising gay unions has been passed and has raised som eyebrows especially in the international community as to an infringement of basic human rights, which begs to ask the question once again of a proper definition of human rights, and if these so called rights are not violated everyday in every country around the world.
