Ace music producer, Panji Anoff has admitted that it is his right to be gay if he chooses to and that should not be of a burden to others.

“The reason why I said I am gay is because I believe that it’s my human right to be gay if I choose. It’s my right, it doesn’t involve you or anybody, the only person who is involved is my lover. We are human beings, we have the rights to love who we want,” he stated.

Panji came out as gay on his Facebook page, however, speaking on GHOne morning show with Baisiwa Hammond, he clarified that he posted that statement just to get rid of homophobic people on his Facebook page.

“My Facebook was so full so I knew if I got rid of all the homophobic people, or all my friends who think that love is wrong but hate is right. I wanted them to un-friend me so that I will have more space on my Facebook and add people who believe in love. I want people to understand what I believe in,” he explained.

He believed every individual has the right to be with whomever they wanted.

“I believe that everybody has the right to love whomever they want. The only way for me to explain to people that I am a humanist is to align myself with those who are under threats. I believe everybody has the right to choose their own partner’’ he further opined.
