He's a pastor, and is working with the Nigerian gov't and other advocates in both countries. I can't imagine what a task that has to be, and the courage it takes. But courage he has. I think that as long as the media can expose how absurd, or at least perhaps truly hostile if not crazy the opposition to equality is, the better. At least the public can see for themselves. And our dissenters can't unring their own bells. I just men the most striking and amazing trans man from Nigeria recently.

While he refrained from physical violence, verbally he did everything possible to prevent any disagreement with the hate he was spewing. Its easy to see it would take very little for Seempa to cross the line into murdering every LGBT he could get his hands on. I’m really surprised to see how incredibly consumed with anger Seempa is.
