=== Not LGBT-friendly === Despite its active nightlife and prevailing [[joie de vivre]], Lagos, like all cities in Nigeria, is "not LGBT-friendly". [[Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act 2013|Nigeria's 2014 legislation]] in this regard is among the most draconian systems of repression against queer people in the world.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Isaack |first=Wendy |date=20 October 2016 |title=Tell Me Where I Can Be Safe |url=https://www.hrw.org/report/2016/10/20/tell-me-where-i-can-be-safe/impact-nigerias-same-sex-marriage-prohibition-act |journal=Human Rights Watch}}</ref> Homosexuals, but also their "supporters" such as people who have attended a same-sex wedding in another country, or hotel staff who have provided a room for a queer couple, theoretically can be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison.
