Description

"Smile every day — that was a dream I had as a child. I just want to be happy and being happy is not being in any form of closet." Edafe Okporo talks about HIV stigma in Nigeria, why the country's underground queer parties are so vital, and how difficult the asylum process is in the U.S. 
LGBTQ&A is hosted by Jeffrey Masters and produced by The Advocate magazine, in partnership with GLAAD. Come find us on Twitter @lgbtqpod.
