Nigerian entertainment industry has recently become a haven of lesbianism, where homosexuality is no longer seen as an indulgence akin to taboo. But where young entertainers go to any lenght to get roles in order to flaunt their new found celebrity status with the view to attracting the well-heeled in the society. This ugly development has even spread to churches, night clubs and parties. The act which many believe is alien to African culture has become so acceptable to those involved in it without any remorse.
People take closeness to mean lesbianism — Lizzy, Actress
*Lizzy
I have heard about lesbianism in Nollywood but I can’t actually place my hand on anyone. When people spot you hanging out with lots of female friends or sharing room with your female colleagues; they assume you are a lesbian. Using myself as an example; I am fond of keeping girlfriends; I can peck and hug her closely in the public,when people see such closeness they assume you are lesbians without evidence.
I don’t judge people base on what I see; I have to be close to you first and foremost before I draw my conclusion. To be candid with you, I have not met any lesbian and I have never been harrassed by any.
I have heard about it — Ani Amatosero, Actress
Yes, I have heard there are lesbians in Nollywood but I cannot accuse anyone because nobody has approached me before now. People gossip a lot and assume things especially when they don’t like you or when they find out that you are a friend to someone they feel is a lesbian.
I don’t judge people by their appearance or what others say about that person. I judge people by how they treat or deal with me. In every 12 persons. there is always a Judas. But this time, I cannot fish out the Judas because the Judas has never tried touching me or wooing me to sleep with her. I honestly won’t lie to you; I have never experienced it!
