London Home Office denies Nigerian lesbian asylum request, says she can't be lesbian after having children

Nigerian asylum seeker and award winning gay-rights activist, Aderonke Apata has once again been denied asylum following a position by the UK Home office that she can not be a lesbian after she's been in multiple heterosexual relationships which resulted in the birth of her children. 

 46yr old Aderonke, who fled Nigeria to the UK in 2004 after her life was allegedly threatened for being gay, has been in a running battle with the UK Home office for a while now over this.

 At a resumed sitting yesterday February 3rd at a London High Court, the Home Secretary’s lawyer, Andrew Bird, argued that Aderonke was 'not part of the social group known as lesbians' but had 'indulged in same-sex activity'. He said "You can’t be a heterosexual one day and a lesbian the next day. Just as you can’t change your race.”
Objecting to his argument, Aderonke's lawyer,  Abid Mahmood, said these were “highly offensive… stereotypical views of the past. Some members of the public may have those views but it doesn’t mean a government department should be putting these views forward in evidence”.

Aderonke who was in court with her wife-to-be , Nigerian Agboro Hapiness pictured above with her, said "The Home Office has treated me badly from day one. Staying in Britain means staying safe, staying with my partner and continuing my campaigning.” 

The court adjourned to a later date for further hearing.

      Not that I'm in support of the lesbian lady but the home office secretary is wrong. Straight people do turn gay. Is she saying all gay people are gay from their mother's womb? I dont think so....Abi no be when person first try one soup decide say E no like am before e try another type. They should find another excuse for denying her asylum abeg.

    Being Gay isnt a matter of pleasure.

    If u decide to be dismiss you orientation to explore. That's your doing and whatever misgivings that follow is also ur doing.

    Straight ppl! Pls stay straight. And leave gay ppl alone.

    Gay ppl stay gay and leave straight ppl alone.

    I can say she had the children due to societal demand. But, bending to the wishes of society doesn't always lead you to a good place

    you cant turn gay over night that's why most white gays argument can be understood the feel this things right form their tender age but coming form a mother who in the past have had countless heterosexual relationships in Nigeria this is bull crap this is just a story of a Nigerian seeking to gain a Uk Green card and gather enough attention as she can and the the anonymous that used Bruce Jenner as an example abeg Bruce case is just is a typical example of a confused man who is lost,crave attention and most definitely have issues

    "You can’t be a heterosexual one day and a lesbian the next day. Just as you can’t change your race.”

    Very true, thoroughly reasoned logic. Perhaps someone needs to bring this fact to the quick attention of Femi Fani Kayode whose oscillation between the PDP and ACN/APC as well as the penchant to pick fights with any one and everyone -- Igbo, Arewa, South Southerner, Yoruba -- while brandishing patriotism equally fits the above scenario. You can't fan the embers of region, religion and tribe while hoping to be taken seriously as a patriot.

    There is no such thing as gay, it's a behavior that annoys God And that was why he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Let's not deceive ourselves ,God really frowns at this. Oyibo is really confused, they brought education but they don't go to school, Christianity but don't go to church, a lot of stuff they don't practice, this goes a long way to tell you they are confused, they just want to disorient people. They are super confused trust me
