Nigerian Pride 🏳️🌈🇳🇬
I meant to have this out yesterday. Happy belated pride. :)
I'm glad you all like the Nigeria Pride post!
Originally, I went in worried the opposite would happen. Growing up, I've been taught that Nigeria, the country, is homophobic. (I was born in America.) But over time, I learned that there's tons of other queer Nigerians; some are out, and some are in the closet 😭.
I'm also not used to this much attention, lol
Thank you all!

The Lesbian, (Gay) MLM, Bisexual, Pansexual, Asexual, and Transgender colors are represented in pairs of people. The Nonbinary and Rainbow Gay colors each use one person. A faded Nigerian flag is the background.
