Rev Rowland Jide Macaulay is a confirmed and ordained Pastor who founded the House Of Rainbow Church.
Macaulay first set up House of Rainbow in 2006, when he openly held Sunday services in a Lagos hotel hall decked out with rainbow flags. A public backlash culminated in members being beaten as they left church and Macaulay had to flee to the UK after death threats.
While digging deep about him, here's what I found on his website. Jide said:
For me I have always been gay and I never became gay.
I became aware of my same sex attraction whilst living in Nigeria at the age of seven. Boys flirt with each other unknowing all the time and it was at this stage that I was more aware of my emotional, physical, mental and sexual attraction to boys. I was 14 when I had my first sex with a guy, it was filled with curiousity, passion, embarassment and guilt as will with any heterosexual having sex for the first time.
By this age I have become a youth leader at church and have spent time reading the bible including discovering chapters that "condemned" homosexuality.
