Introduction: Gays and Lesbians issues around the world are quickly getting attention from intellectuals, religious leaders and the ordinary citizens walking the streets. Liberia is no exception. The Liberian president, Madame Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, recently and jointly awarded the Nobel peace prize has vowed to veto any bill coming out of the the Liberian parliament that recognized people of same sex marriage in the country. But Stephanie Horton, the editor of the contemporary Liberian magazine of literature and arts, The Sea Breeze Journal is urging the Liberian government and its recently elected president to respect the rights of people with different sexual orientation.
