Bisi Alimi reminisce on the day he came out as gay on National TV
Bisi
made his debut as an openly gay rights activist when he came out on New Dawn
with Funmi Iyanda on October 3rd 2004. As he prepares to exchange vows with his
partner next month, Bisi took to his IG page this morning to reminisce on how
his life changed when he came out.
He wrote;
"Day 2 of 30 days to my wedding of 30
things to be grateful of. On the 6th October 2004, I sat on that sofa with
Funmi Iyanda and I came out. She gave me the opportunity in no patronising nor
condensing way to tell my story. On that day I learnt the power of truth and
authenticity. I learnt that life is what you make of it. I was a 29years old
boy, just graduating from university with a prominent role in 'Roses and
Thorns' a soap series on Galaxy Television. I lost everything after coming out
but I gained today. Life was preparing me for a journey beyond my expectations.
In 29 days, I will say I do to a man I have come to find solace in his arms.
