        What adults do in the privacy of their homes and bedrooms should not be subject to such draconian laws.

        I think sir, your definition of draconian is warped. The law against gayism is Democratic by the majority for Nigerian society.

        "Draconian" refers to how harsh the law is, not whether it represents the will of the majority.

        Such notion - that some kinds of people should be hurt just for existing - is an excuse to torment those who are different.

        Transgender is a physiological defected like conjoined twins. These people are not gay. They deserved and have our support, but gays.

        The transgender should not be traumatized further. Enough of gays and their apologists using them as shields in their war for acceptance!
