With Gay marriage gaining international prominence in several societies, same sex practice is spreading across Imo State like wildfire, as young men and women engage in homosexual acts and lesbianism.
This unholy act among men and women was made known by the Imo State Agency for the Control of HIV/AIDS, IMOSACA.
Speaking to Trumpeta in an exclusive interview on the operations of the agency, the Director General, Dr Ethelbert Anyanwu noted that IMOSACA recently organized a seminar for those involved in the act where a reasonable number of young men and women said to be involved in the act participated.
According to the boss of IMOSACA, the seminar which was organized in one of the hotels in Owerri Municipal Council witnessed an amazing number of young boys suspected to be involved in same-sex sexual relationship. The boys according to Dr Anyanwu numbered more than 50 in attendance in Owerri.
Said he “It might interest you to know that same sex-marriage is here with us in Imo. Just recently, as part of our programs in the fight against HIV/AIDS, we organized a seminar for such people and you can’t believe we had more than fifty young boys in attendance.
“Even at the seminar venue, you will notice that the boys were busy lusting, caressing and kissing their partners in full glare of people”, Dr Anyanwu added.
Explaining further from IMOSACA survey carried out recently, Dr Anyanwu disclosed that it was discovered that these young boys have older, wealthy and influential same-sex partners in the society who also indulges in the practice.
Dr Anyanwu therefore enjoined parents to pay more attention on the activities of their children and wards especially the type of friends they keep and where they go to adding that un-spiritual and unacceptable practices are the easiest methods of contacting HIV/AIDS virus.
The IMOSACA survey further disclosed that same-sex acts are also practiced among young female folks in the state.
