CNN Video about Gay Christians in Nigeria

An MCC (Metropolitan Community Churches) church in Nigeria was featured on CNN last week. Historically, MCC has ministered primarily to the LGBTIQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer) community and was founded by Rev. Elder Troy Perry. MCC has established churches around the world, with most being located in the United States.

Check out the video of this story and see how this particular congregation is offering hope in the midst of oppression and standing up to societal and governmental anti-gay pressures.

While Capital City Pride does not endorse any religious organization, we do watch the news and are supportive of those organizations that are helping to promote human rights around the world.
