When he was a priest in Nigeria, John Ademola Adewoye traveled to the United States, where he realized that he could live freely and openly as a gay man – something that was not possible in his home country. When he was granted asylum in the US, he decided to leave the priesthood and help other persecuted LGBTQ+ people from around the world seek asylum and find housing in the US.
