Jan 23, 2007Quickie Link: Nigerian gay Christian leader gets death threats
By vanrozenheim
(Nigeria) - The argument over sexuality within the 77-million strong Anglican Communion has been thrown into sharp perspective this month (January 2007), when it was revealed that the leader of a group of lesbian and gay Christians in Nigeria has received the latest in a series of death threats. Davis Mac-Iyalla, director of Changing Attitude Nigeria, was delivered a hand-written letter to his home on 9 January 2007. The note concludes with the threat to bathe Davis Mac-Iyalla with acid unless he repents and describes itself as “a final warning”. Mr Mac-Iyalla has already received four email threats, apparently from the same source, says Changing Attitude UK.
