statements like this are why doctors won't diagnose you properly because "you're young; there's nothing wrong with you."
Not 22-year-olds tweeting at me that they want to rest. Rest from what for goodness sake? 22, good health, near-zero responsibilities. Working hard and investing in your personal growth will not give you high BP, rest! Na 'cane' some of una need abeg. No wonder yahoo dey thrive.

seeing another year while living with heart disease isn’t easy because my heart might give up at any time, so my birthdays mean everything to me.
Seriously why y’all birthdays mean so much to y’all? I don’t get it! Is it because when y’all was supposed to celebrate them in early years of your life your parents didn’t and now you gotta go all out every year to make up for that Shìt?

I have noticed a change in words since I came out to my mom. Before coming out to her, we'd playfully talk about me having kids and getting married someday. She'd say things like "when you and your wife," "your wife will be my friend," but since I came out to her,

I think my favourite memory of my mom is from last year after I came out to her. I remember how she held my hands and told me she'd always love me no matter what. How she told me not to cry as I opened up to her. The laughter, the tears, the hugs, the sex education too :)

on the one hand, you people claim queerness is being “forced down your throat,” and on the other hand, you go out of your way to cause harm to queer people who are actively avoiding you.

queer and trans nigerians are constantly targeted for simply being, and these perpetrators always go scot-free, without any consequences. you people always think the transphobia you lend a voice to only ever ends online, that nothing happens outside, and it’s a shame.

"Okay, what if I finally decide to get married? To a man?" I asked he.
She smiled, and said: "when the time comes, I will be here to plan your wedding."

You argue on heterophobia online because you want to be so oppressed, yet offline you are not scared of holding the hands of your partner, or kissing them. You don't have to come out because your sexuality is seen as the default, and no one thinks of you as an "abomination" 1/3

Homophobes will do everything to "turn" you straight. Send you to the pastor for deliverance, pay money for conversion therapy, rape you to make you like men, get their gang to beat you up, threaten you with hellfire, then come out to shout-

people try so hard to police how you grieve. you’re expected to move on after a while and not express it anymore because they have allocated a timeline for you. but this grief is neverending. it’s there every day.

she stopped using 'wife' in sentences. Yes, it took time, and no, she doesn't say 'husband' rather when we are having conversations, she says things like "when you and your partner," "if you decide to have kids," "your partner will be my best friend."

In it, I write on being gay, my relationship with the church, and my faith. I also talk about trying to pray the gay away at a young age, and coming out. Read here:

At first, I thought it was nothing until we spoke today, and she said, "You told me yourself that you are not attracted to women and you won't get married too, that's why I started using partner."

Please, don't retweet pictures of queer couples if you have homophobic followers. Please? Tired of seeing homophobes going wild in comment sections, insulting people who just wanted to share pictures of them and their partner. It's not cute.

Hey.
I have coronary heart disease and hypotension. I've had a full-blown heart attack in the past and occasionally deal with mini heart attacks.
It is hard and disabling.
I’ve been on a bunch of drugs since 2020, and sometimes, it's tiring.
I am just throwing this out there.

Happy pride month to you trying hard to reconcile your faith and sexuality. I know there are moments when you think you are a sin or wish you were different, however, I want you to know that you are not a sin and you deserve to love freely; without shame. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

🏳️⚧️ Fola Francis made history in Nigeria as the first trans woman to walk the Lagos Fashion Week runway. Last month, she drowned in a tragic accident at a Lagos beach.
🎙️ We asked her loved ones to share how her life and queer rights advocacy inspired LGBTQ+ Nigerians.

they were glaringly queerphobic, and i’d like us to understand that wasn’t the best thing to happen to nollywood, and it’s not the representation we should be happy about.
