Looking for Gay 'Daddies'

The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERs), is working on a project which will document the life histories and experiences of queer men in Nigeria.

 

 

The NGO aims to capture the life stories of men from a wide range of ages and backgrounds in Nigeria who identify as gay, bisexual and/or transgender. They have a particular interest in stories from older men (55+). The stories will be gathered into an anthology and published by a leading global publisher.

 

In their open call, Tiers stated the book when published, “will deepen the global perspective on the queer experience in Africa, and Nigeria specifically – beyond the ‘doom and gloom’ of international headlines”

 

They also stated that part of the many reasons to carry out the project is “to document the lives of queer men in Nigeria and to uncover the voices of a group of people often excluded from the accepted narrative of Nigerian history and society” with the hopes that it increases “the presence of queer voices will reduce stigma and discrimination, by creating broader awareness through human stories”

 

TIERs aims to interview 50-60 men with the goal of reflecting Nigeria’s diversity and complexity in terms of sexual orientation, gender identity, as well as socio-economic status, ethnicity and religion.

 

 

All submitted entries will be treated confidentially and anonymous.

 

Interested individuals can send an email .
