🕯️ On This Day in LGBTQ+ History: February 26 ⚠️ February 26, 2014: Nigeria’s Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act moves into active enforcement By February 26, 2014, Nigeria’s Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, signed earlier that year, was being actively enforced. Reports emerged of arrests in northern Nigeria under the new law, which criminalized same sex relationships and imposed penalties for participating in or supporting LGBTQ organizations. The legislation not only banned marriage but also outlawed membership in LGBTQ advocacy groups and public displays of same sex affection. The enforcement phase in late February marked a sharp escalation from legislative action to lived consequences for LGBTQ Nigerians. At this moment in history: 🕯️Individuals were arrested or detained under expanded criminal provisions 🕯️Community gatherings and advocacy meetings were forced underground 🕯️Public hostility intensified following government endorsement of criminalization 🕯️Access to HIV prevention and health services was disrupted due to fear February 26 serves as a context date marking when statutory discrimination translated into arrests and heightened vulnerability. The law became one of the most widely cited modern anti LGBTQ statutes in Africa and drew global condemnation. Who continues to defend and advocate Within Nigeria, organizations such as The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERs) and other local human rights defenders provide legal assistance, emergency response, and community support, often under significant risk. Regionally, African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights networks monitor enforcement patterns and advocate for reform. Globally, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Outright International, and ILGA World have documented abuses, supported strategic litigation, and engaged international bodies to press for repeal and protection of LGBTQ rights. #LGBTQHistory #HumanRights #Decriminalize #LGBTQNigeria

Folks,

Here's a link that will help you write a letter opposing Ash Regan's hateful bill in the Scottish Parliament. Her bill intends to criminalise buying sex - a tactic that (1) only deters the very nicest clients (2) further stigmatizes and isolates sex workers from support services and legal protection and (3) is just another bit of oppressive prudery that's going to do real damage to good people. The bill is being considered on 15th January, so get out there and tell your MSPs to tell Ash Regan to keep her awful views to herself.

There is loads of really good research showing why the "Nordic model" hurts working people, and why decriminalisation is the best solution for the various problems people associate with sex work (violence, std's, exploitation...). If you have a problem with people selling sex, that's your prejudice. That's not a basis for a just society.

Congress is disproportionately rich, white, healthy; famous and powerful.

Prescription requirements don't mean anything when they can waltz into an office and tell the doctor what to green-light...
(their appointments paid for by our taxpayer money)

Being denied life-saving care isn't a reality of the world they live in.
It is in ours.

Being dismissed and denied treatment isn't an issue they face.
It is for us.

We the People must make our voices heard:
