Nigeria’s Senate passes same-sex ‘marriage’ ban

Nigeria’s Senate passed a ban on same-sex “marriage” Tuesday in the face of threats by UK Prime Minister David Cameron of aid cuts to African countries that fail to uphold special rights for homosexuals, reports LifeSiteNews.com.

The bill, which now moves to the lower house and will need the signature of Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, establishes that the state only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman. It imposes a 14-year sentence for same-gendered couples that attempt to wed and a 10-year sentence for those who witness or assist at a same-sex “wedding”.

It also bans involvement in homosexual activist groups and public displays of affection by homosexual couples.
