“I Don’t Support Gay Lifestyle But I’m Against The Law” – Oby Ezekwesili

A former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has said her religious inclination will never make her support gay lifestyle though she is against the new law by President Goodluck Jonathan on same-sex marriage.

In a series of tweets yesterday morning, Ezekwesili said:

“I am not one bit ashamed of my strong spiritual belief in the gospel of Jesus.I strive to live by the Word of God & wish everyone would too. My Bible-the Word of God states clearly in Leviticus 18v22 “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”

On the new law however, I differ. Every law must pass the test of CERTAINTY…..the law must be certain, in that it is clear & precise, & its legal implications foreseeable.

We know how very improbable it would be for CERTAINTY to be always established in our society in the interpretation of this law by people.Imagine the unintended consequences in a society already given to mob action when a law is not clear& precise… Too costly for everyone”.
