Glad I read this. The entire book is basically a compilation of several angry rants. Not in a bad way, she (as an openly and activist bisexual Nigerian) has a good reason to be angry and particularly at the time of writing & publication which was when the Nigerian 'same sex marriage prohibition' bill was first proposed there. It was signed into law on January 7th 2014. It criminalises not only being gay, but also looking like you might be gay in public (including platonically holding hands or hugging or cohabiting with someone from the same sex) but also means that any family who support you are made criminal and that it is illegal to have legal representation in court for any issue that might be interpreted as in any way one about gender and sexuality.

I am glad I read it because I think it's important to remember that it's been just over 10 years of this now. And that it's harmful, not just to gay people, but to anyone who might be related to an LGBTQI+ person, or merely acts in any way that some mean person might be able to misconstrue as LGBTQI+.

The language is sometimes a little outdated if you're up to date with current developments but in her defence, this was 10 years ago, she offers a clear rebuttal of everything the law stands for, and provides clear examples. Also we who are LGBTQI+ or knowledgeable of the most recent 2024 lingustic developments are also not the target audience, it was written to the people who hate us questioning them regarding why.
