Rev Rowland Jide Macaulay, the gay minister who founded House of Rainbow, Nigeria’s only gay church, which was forced to close in 2008, has expressed his gratitude to God in celebration of his 50th birthday.
“It is unbelievable that this moment has come. I AM 50 YEAR OLD. I am delighted and grateful to the almighty God, who is incomparable, the omnipotent and magnificent God. If I have a thousand tongues it is not enough to express my gratitude. I just want to say THANK YOU GOD.

Jide Macaulay
I also want to say thanks to my parents, who laboured in my upbringing, though my mother is late. I believe she is looking down from heaven with joy and blessings for my future. I am grateful for my dad too, who through all hardship has the forbearance of hope and wisdom of a father.
I want to say thanks to the thousands of people who have befriended me in joyful and difficult circumstances, too numerous to mention here, but I am joyful because of the unavoidable contributions in my life.
Half a century is a gift, everyday will always be a precious bonus.
I say THANK YOU JESUS, MY SAVIOUR AND MY LORD,” he posted on his facebook account.
Macaulay first set up House of Rainbow in 2006, when he openly held Sunday services in a Lagos hotel hall decked out with rainbow flags. A public backlash culminated in members being beaten as they left church. Macaulay fled to the UK after death threats

he was once a Pastor.... once a Man God is forever a Man of God

People are so judgmental when it comes to the third sex as if they are the one who is holy and the only children of their God because they we're made "straight" as a man or a woman and allowed to enter the gates of heaven...And if a person is gay or a lesbian she/he might be possessed by the evil ....
These are the type of the ppol who lacks of understanding and ignorant ...so before u judge or throwing stones to others, try to have a self reflection first or at least have a little respect to others...juz saying.

lyk seriously dis lyf is rii cuming to an end
