Y'all. She said we were going to Summer Lee's party. I arrived to pick her up and had the most delicious shock. She colluded with folks, people flew in, we were surrounded by love. In front of our children and dear friends, Sirry Alang asked me to be her wife. And I said yes.
Sexual orientation and gender identity is not criminalized in Nigeria. You are engaging a largely enlightened class of society, we will not be bullied. ๐ซต๐พ

Omoge Campus invites you to think about the ways you contribute to the menacing gaze of society that follows queer expression and alternative lifestyles like a million eyes, asking them to conform instead.
