Anti Gay Protest During Obama Visit To Kenya by busyflexz(m): 2:16pm On Jul 25, 2015
Reposted from G.N.A:
Today marks obama’s first visit to his father’s home country (Kenya) since taking office in 2009 as the President of the the United States of America, and though he is expected to be met with a warm welcome, it is an irony that the welcome apparently got hotter as he is issued warning from several evangelical pastors in Kenya.
There have also been reports of anti-gay protests in the the Kenyan capital (Nairobi) put up by Bishop Kariuki and his allies who walked down the streets of Nairobi chanting “we want Obama, we want Michelle, and we want a child, we don’t want Obama and Obama, we don’t want Michelle and Michelle. We want Obama and Michelle and we want a child”.
The demonstration saw Over a hundred people wearing T-shirts with the slogan “Protect The Family” printed on them. They also flaunted placards everywhere stating “We do not want gay activities in Kenya”.

In the bishops campaign against homosexuality and building moral values in youths he referenced Genesis 1: 26,27&28, the bible passage where God said we should be fruitful and multiply.
He also asked that the faith and morals of his people be respected and that the United state president stick to the reason for his visit and talk solely about the conference and shouldn’t make references or gestures about the homosexual situations as he is a world leader and has the Kenyan youths looking up to him.

Besides Bishop Mark Kariuki, another renowned individual who has openly spoken against homosexuality in Kenya is the deputy president William Ruto, who speaking at a church service in Ziwani said that the practice(homosexuality) was against Christianity and should be shunned because Kenya is a God fearing nation with no room for same-sex marriage.
Kenya is a country with about 82 percent of the population, Christians and boost a large population of people against the gay right agenda. They are also among a population of over 30 African country where homosexuality is deemed illegal, and homosexuality in Kenya could land an individual a 21 years imprisonment sentence.
