A Ugandan couple, Mr and Mrs Odong have come out to speak on accepting their son, Andrew, as a gay man.
Andrew who is married to a
Nigerian gay man, Tosin Ojutalayo, made headlines last year when they had their
dream wedding in France in May 2023, which was attended by Andrew’s parents.
In a podcast with their son,
the Odongs spoke of how they couldn’t turn their back on Andrew because of his
sexuality.
Andrew's father stated that he
knew that being gay wasn't something Andrew could change from.
‘’It is what you are. You are
not going to change for somebody, even for your parents. If that is what you
are''
Speaking, his mum said she
knows that her son being gay doesn't imply that he is ill or that he would die.
‘’It's just love. I can't see
myself dumping my child for love. Tosin and Andrew as I know them are my
children. They are going to be my children for the rest of my life until I
die''
