my name is bill and i am writing all the way in cameroon, i now work in an NGO for human rights defense and sexual health prevention. apex some weeks back, i chated with a soo called gay guy on a dating site and he pleaded i meet with him at his neighbour, he offered to take me to his hotel i said no , he's like i shouldnt be scared he wont harm me. we then decided and took a seat at the nearest snack bar. in less than no time he told me he was a cop under cover and they are out to track persons like me. i told him if its a joke, i dont have time for this and i gotta leave. he said i am going to go nowhere and the police force is already on their way coming......

hi i was just reading and i could see my self appart being abused by people and friends i was also rejectted by my family and i stayed in jail for some time but ik kept hoping and finally i could leave the country.But i was realy suprise when in europe i met cameroonians leaving here for so long having the same reaction like in cameroon.I couldn't believe that some of them said that homosexuality is abomination some of them even said that the couldn't eat with people like that refering to gays.It's a big shame for people to think like that everyone has the right to leave free and do whatever he want thanks
