'If you are gay, members of your community ostracize you. People think you are not normal, and they look at it as an abomination.'

Friends of Albert Nabonibo, a well-known gospel singer in Rwanda who recently came out as a gay man, do not want their names revealed. It is too shameful, one says. Another says he is anguished because his family knows he often used to socialize with Nabonibo.

"But there is no going back, because I have to live my real life," Nabonibo said in an interview in the capital, Kigali."It's so sad to see people you know abusing you." "There is a long list of them in your midst and they include pastors or churchgoers," he said."This pretense encouraged me to speak out."

Some of Nabonibo's best friends who spoke to the AP said they were too embarrassed even to talk about him. They requested anonymity for their own privacy.Another friend, a man who attends the same church as Nabonibo, said he was in a state of"agony" since the rest of his family knows he used to hang out with Nabonibo. Now he has blocked Nabonibo from all phone contact, saying he wants to"keep safe.

"All Rwandans are born and remain equal in rights and freedoms," Olivier Nduhungirehe, Rwanda's state minister for foreign affairs, said on Twitter.

Being gay isn't the problem. Homosexual acts are the problem. Something the gay community does agree on is that the truth is hardest to swallow.

'All Rwandans are born and remain equal in rights and freedoms,' Olivier Nduhungirehe, Rwanda's state minister for foreign affairs, said on Twitter.. Says it all doesn't it? Good for him. Hope it gets easier.

There is a way that seems right to a man, the end thereof is the way of destruction.

You know the Bible says about that, Mr. Gospel Singer. Faker.

Well... in Florida, that sums it up.

How many white gospel singers are there who “GO IN” gay let alone “COME OUT” as gay in gospel music but you don’t get a story about them now do you?

It's an abomination to humanity.

May God show you mercy

True

- I dont know where he lives but I'm a Christian, bible believing, gun toting southern woman and I pass no judgement on anyone and their lives because I wouldnt want it to happen to me. The media is the one that makes the divide when really no one cares. I treat everyone the same

In America it doesn't matter who you love. The important thing is that you are a good American. KAG2020

They are correct because it is evil.

The abomination is that anyone needs to tell the public how they partake in their sexuality. It's a privately expressed realization, not a public display for attention or approval.

And look how these countries are in 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩and the highest of AIDS in the world.but not doubt they believe that they are the light of god in their ignorant homophobic mind it is a shame and it is embarrassing countries like this focusing in peoples sexual pref. Sad 😞

Be safe

Sorry sir but singing gospel won't save you. Being gay is against God's Word! People ostracize you to avoid log in their own eye. Fornication, committing adultery, greed, cheating others, other things just as badwill result in same outcome BUT God didn't leave your powerless!

Yes because it is evil

🤗❤️

So what? Some people are bigots. Get over it.
