A
Nigerian lesbian woman, 53-year-old Moji Solar-Percy recently walked
down the aisle with her American wife in the US.
Solar-Percy,
a real estate mogul, runs a company, Solar Worldwide Realty Inc. in
Staten Island, New York. She gushed about her love for the woman, with
whom she probably would have been arrested if the wedding had taken
place in Nigeria.
Solar-Percy is from Ijero-Ekiti, Ekiti State and describes herself as a
mother, realtor, LGBT activist, speaker, coach and host on her Facebook
page, did not reveal the name of her partner.
She
wrote on her Facebook wall, where friends and families have
been celebrating her new status, that she embarked on the marital
journey with fear.
“Today
I woke up in a cold sweat. I was drenched with fear, for a moment. I
forgot where I was. I ask you all to close your eyes, imagine what would
have happened Saturday at our wedding if we were in Nigeria.
“Even
though we went to great lengths to make sure we had security, the
thought of the police barging in and arresting all our guests, my wife
and I, to be carted off to jail, the women raped and beaten, the men
brutalised, and my children beaten along with everyone else.
“When
I got my bearings, I got on my knees and thanked God for his grace of
living in the US. Then I remembered all the people that could not do
what we did with grace and class.To all of you (gay) all over Africa,
#westandforyou. May all our days be filled with blessings and grace.”
