/PRNewswire/ -- The Rev. Rizi Nasele Timane' and the Fact Truth Music Ministry ( http://www.rizigospel.com ), a non-denominational Christian clergymen, are expressing distress at a newly proposed anti-gay bill in Nigeria and, they're m for the United States, and the Obama administration in particular, to speak out against it.

Homosexuality is already wrongful in Nigeria, but the country's senate recently voted to expand penalties by criminalizing gay matrimony, same-sex public displays of affection as well as gay clubs and advocacy groups. Under the proposed law, if a same-sex pair marries, each partner would face up to 14 years in prison while their witnesses or any other own helping with the marriage could be sentenced to 10-year imprisonment. Additionally, the registration of gay clubs or institution or the public display of same-sex amorous affections could result in 10 years behind bars.

"This draconian law, if signed into law, will engender to untold horrors for an already oppressed lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in Nigeria where homosexuals are already subjected to disownment, rape and other acts of vehemence, including death," stated Timane'.
