Rashidi Williams

            A Nigerian gay has to face many more obstacles then an American gay.  American gays have rights that will protect us from discrimination and harassment.  Where as the Nigerian gays have no rights.  The Nigerian government allows their citizens to disrespect on the gay community in Nigeria.  The gays in the States worrier about having the right to marry and adopting children.  Where as the Nigerian gay community worrier about being beating to death or being put in jail for 14 years.  These humans suffer everyday, many do not even come out, and many pertain to be something they are not.  The Nigerians who are out suffer the most for example, Rashidi Williams who is a native of Nigeria, has been beaten because he identifies as a homosexual.  Men and women both were beating this 25 year old young man.  After the beating William had to go to the hospital because they broke his hand.  William stated that he could not report anything to the hospital or police deportment because he would have to face discrimination again.
