Rev Rowland Jide Macaulay, the gay minister who founded House of
Rainbow, Nigeria’s only gay church celebrates 50years of age. In his statement
according to him “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.
I also want to say thanks to my parents, who labored 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, his church which was
forced to close in 2008 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.
