John Kerry Condemns Nigerian Law Banning Same-Sex Marriage
Says it restricts freedom
Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday condemned a new law in Nigeria prohibiting same-sex marriages, calling it a "dangerous" restriction on freedom.
"The United States is deeply concerned by Nigeria's enactment of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act," Kerry said in a statement released by the State Department. "Beyond even prohibiting same sex marriage, this law dangerously restricts freedom of assembly, association, and expression for all Nigerians."
