Abstract

This day and age reveal that one of the burdens pivoting most third-world countries is the problem of how to exercise, interpret, and implement full fundamental human rights. This has been a confrontation particularly to the LGTBQAI community on the basis of variant sexual orientation and gender identity. In Nigeria, as a case study, the situation is inhumane because the LGBTQAI community in general is prone to high levels of violence, discrimination, and criticism. This study aims at criticizing the Nigerian anti-homosexual laws and policies. It proffers that international communities on human rights should review the scope of Nigerian legislation and policies on the rights to variant sexual orientation and gender identity, their vague provisions, and the sternness of punishments.
