Love Offers No Safety Summary

Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria's Queer Men Speak by Jude Dibia

Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria's Queer Men Speak tells the stories of a marginalized community in their own words. These collected narratives include stories of love, heartbreak, tenderness, and struggle, and show that there is no one universal queer experience.

Love Offers No Safety also serves as an exploration of what it is to be a man - how societal pressures foster toxic masculinity, and the barriers this creates for learning to understand one another.
