Joji Baro Opens Up About The Humiliation He Undergoes For Being Openly Gay

Before we begin, I must say first say that I support gay rights. Let that be said and out of the way. I do. And for the myopic fools, it is not because I am a closeted homosexual. But even if you think me one, no skin off my teeth. That said, I came across a post by Joji Baro that broke my heart. When I read it, I saw more than a homo, I saw a human being crying out.

I have quite a number of homosexual friends and they are awesome people -for the most part. And we have an understanding; don’t ask, don’t tell. And here I am talking about them talking about other men. So away from the fact that I know they are gay, I know nothing about their sexual lives. but I have seen all of them cry and pray to their God whenever society bashes them a little too hard.

Don’t get me wrong, African homosexuals are pretty strong, they keep being torn at day-in-day-out and that gives them some thick skin but once in a while, that one comment will get under your skin.
So I can empathize with Joji Baro.

“God why would ou allow people to mock me like that? Am I not your child? Then who created me?”

I see here, a human being tired of being humiliated. A human being tired of being savagely mocked.

But I guess, whatever it is the lad is going through, it doesn’t compare to the people in Uganda who are being killed aye? Wrong! Mental torment is just as bad as physical torment. And just where am I going with this? I have no idea. I only hope that I will ignite a spark of thought that will maybe broaden you horizon; you will see homosexuals as human beings.
