Episode Synopsis

Bisi Alimi is a Nigerian gay rights activist, public speaker, blog writer and HIV advocate who gained international attention when he became the first Nigerian to come out on television.

We speak about the dangers of being LGBT in non-tolerant countries where rights and social acceptance are far from achieved.

Bisi shares his story of the events that happened after he publicly came out: how he lost his acting career; was brutally beaten in his home; and had to flee Nigeria to live in asylum in the UK for fear of his safety. ⁣
