Gideon Okeke defends anti-gay stand

Nollywood actor, Gideon Okeke, has defended his anti-homosexuality viewpoint after he was criticised for calling same-sex unions unnatural.

The 2006 Big Brother Nigeria contestant reacted to the criticism via Instagram on Thursday.

“36 Years and there’s been NOTHING I’ve learned so well, as to stand ALONE.  No Man is an Island, but the feet on the ground and the footprints in the sand ain’t mine. I soar with wings, like an Eagle. I’m bouyed up. I keeps it Moving.

“I was raised in a YARD! A ghetto-YARD without fences. No boarders, but I was raised to know what limits and boundaries were. Not caged up in a flat, apartment quarters, BQ or Face me -i-Face You.

“A YARD, means I had the Luxury of SPACE! (front yard, backyard, neighbour Yard). My Dad (rip) would rather encourage me to “open your mouth and talk”…when it was Necessary,” he wrote in parts.

On Tuesday, Gideon Okeke condemned the marriage of fashion designer, Marc Jacobs, and his long-term boyfriend, Char Defrancesco, describing the same-sex union as ‘unnatural’.

The marriage held in New York on Monday and fashion model, Naomi Campbell, was in attendance.
