“To Be G@y is Honorable, a Gift from God” – Nigerian G@y Pastor, Jide Macaulay Says

Nigeria’s First openly g@y pastor and founder of House of Rainbow Fellowship, Rev. Jide Macaulay wrote what you’d find below on his instagram page:

To be a homosexual is honourable, a gift from God. It is who I am. God makes no mistakes. Knowing the truth as a g@y christian is liberating and gives me the most joy of my freedom.

I have paid the price for lying to be heterosexual. Pretending to be who you are will only harm you. EVERYONE was hurt, my father, mother, wife, son, my siblings, in-laws, friends and relatives etc.

I was FORCED to lie. I justified these lies with religion, culture, tradition and law.

I lied to myself for all of my adolescence, I lied to my family and friends. Because I didn’t know any better.


I lied to my ex-wife because I was afraid of telling the truth.

I lied in my prayers asking God to cure me of homosexuality instead of helping me to come to terms.

My religious belief and dogma nearly killed me. I wrongly married a woman and badly hurt everyone.

I suffered emotional and psychological breakdown and through it all I survived. – Reverend Jide Macaulay
