Some Archbishops in United Kingdom have condemned the Laws banning homosexual in Nigeria an Uganda.
According to BBC Reports, Archbishops Justin Welby of Canterbury and John Sentamu of York have written to the presidents of Nigeria and Uganda, criticizing laws that punish gay people.
The Men of God said, "gay people were loved and valued by God and should not be victimised or punished for what they stand for".
The Letter is in response to legislation against homosexual in Nigeria and Uganda.
Developed countries including United Kingdom and Canada have condemned the laws, saying it violates the rights of gay people.
Nigeria and Uganda have both passed legislation targeting people with same-sex attraction.
In the Letter which was equally addressed to all primates in the worldwide Anglican Communions, the Archbishops said Homosexual people must be given freedom to practice their believe in all countries.
Archbishops of Canterbury and York said the letter was a result of "questions about the Church of England's attitude to new legislation in several countries that penalises people with same-sex attraction".
Archbishops Justin Welby of Canterbury is currently on a five-day tour of four African countries.
Pope Francis once said, " If a person is gay and seeks the Lord and his of good will, who am I to judge him".
However, Nigerian Pastors have continued to show praise on the government for legislating against Homosexual people.
