Esther Adedeji Ayomide

My name is Esther Adedeji Ayomide. I am a bisexual woman. My journey into same sex all started in 2014. This was when I started developing feelings for my best friend while simultaneously crushing on a handsome boy in my class. One day I was caught kissing my girlfriend in the living room by my mother. My mother was heartbroken and cried for days. There was nothing I could do to help the way she felt in those moments, she was in her own world, and I was in mine. I was also caught with another female partner when I was in the university by my boyfriend then, and my secret became known all over the campus. Nigeria is a homophobic country, from the religious to the traditional unbelievers, to them, people like me are cursed and should not be allowed to walk freely in the neighborhoods nor even be a part of humanity and as such we are condemned to death even on mere suspicions. I was lucky to have gotten a Canada visa before the news of sexuality go viral. I am comfortable being Bisexual Female and I am loving it here in Canada. Esther.
