[4] At a time when Nigerians are unsure and in great denial about the existence of gays or homosexual in their midst, Dare came forward, founded Alliance Right Nigeria, boldly giving a face to what many belief is an alien conception.
[2] At great cost to his life and safety, Dare began to organise and succeeded in bringing homosexuality into the public consciousness.
At the same time he was implementing direct training to prevent the spread of HIV amongst the community having himself tested positive to the disease in 2001.
[5] It was to Dare’s credit that the National AIDS and STD Control Program was able to include the category “men sleeping with men” in all its studies by being able to show the importance of the gay community to all programs for public health given their interaction and intersection with the general population.
He also targeted the media and policymakers with education to ensure greater understanding of the effects of homophobia.
