Same-Sex Marriage Must Not Be Allowed In Nigeria - Charlie Boy

Charlie Boy has condemned the practice of same-sex marriage and advised that it should not be allowed in Nigeria. He told NAN that the current trend in which many countries legalised same-sex marriages was worrisome. Charlie Boy made the remarks over the recent decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that legalised same-sex marriage in the country. Charlie Boy also said that same–sex marriage was un-African and should not be welcome under the guise of civilisation and right. “I understand people talk about right and civilisation but same-sex marriage is un-African, and we should not encourage it here. “It is deeply disappointing and worrisome that the U.S. Supreme Court could uphold same-sex marriage. “I have never been the one to beef about people’s sexual preferences but this is taking it too far. “What is marriage equality? You can’t redefine marriage by judicial fiat. “In all cultures, secular or religious, marriage is between a man and a woman. “It is said that every child has a right to be raised by two parents; a father and a mother, both are important and are not interchangeable. “The sad reality that so many children are deprived of this right because of the crisis in traditional marriages does not make it any less important,” he said.
