WHAT IS CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE's STAND ON GAY RELATIONSHIP?

-
Chimamanda Adichie, an award-winning author, loves originality, freedom and self-expression, irrespective of the twists in one’s life.


 Adichie’s experience was recounted through the narrative of 
Eghosa Imasuen, a medical doctor who attended one of her workshops.

 Imasuen said  “She wanted people to feel that they could be who they actually were. She particularly wanted gay writers to feel at home, because it was so hard to be gay elsewhere in Nigeria, and in fact two people in her workshop came out there for the first time. On the other hand, she also wanted people who had what she considered to be the wrong beliefs to say what they were thinking, as long as they didn’t do so in a nasty way. It wasn’t that she felt that all beliefs were acceptable; in fact, she considered one goal of the workshop to be social engineering,” he.
