This project examines the harsh realities faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Nigeria following the enactment of an Anti-Gay law by President Goodluck Jonathan. The law prohibits participation in gay organizations and same-sex marriage, imposing severe consequences including torture for those captured. As highlighted by Judy Shepard, Matt's legacy inspires a generation to stand up for their rights. This connects to themes in "The Outsiders," emphasizing the importance of embracing diversity, staying true to oneself, and promoting understanding over hate.
