WHY THE HOMOSEXUALITY PRACTISE IS NOT A WIN FOR THOSE OPPOSSED..

For many years, Africa has been described as a dark continent. It has perfected the assumption by clinging onto the outdated practices that have caused intense damages to generations that come at a later stage.

Despite the fact that dangers that come with FGM, many communities supported by their own leaders have continued promoting the vice that has left our girls not sure whether they deserve to be in this world. A lot has been said but who is right? Who is definite that fighting other people's choices of lifestyle would ensure our happiness?

This continent has been best known for its openness to accept new cultures and practices if not believes. This is evident in the millions of church buildings and mosques across the continent.

Before the coming of the white man, Africans worshiped in Shrines ' Mathembo' , others went to high places and there was no Marian Theology, there was no Jesus Christ or whatever other believe  known to us. Above all homosexuality existed.

Today, the same churches are quick to condemn homosexuality for being not African as if Christianity was. In my first part of this article I pointed out that there was insemination of warriors in both Greece and in some of African tribes where warriors had sex with young inferior warriors to make them better warriors for later time.

Enough said, The issue at hand requires a sober approach and understanding. We should revisit our conscience and ask ourselves, "Are we contradicting our national values that we have for ages fought to uphold?"

"Are we missing the point on our priorities as a nation?"

"Are we contradicting article number 2 of Kenyan constitution?"

Well mentioning Article  2 of the Constitution might brew some opposition  from my good learnt friend Silas Aluku who we haven't communicated since my last article with  chimpreports in 2013. 
Article 2 of the constitution depicts Kenya as a secular state and William Ruto was violating the law by say God detests gayism.

I may comment the resilient that statehouse has had on the matter and we saw it with Manoah Esipisu contradicting the Deputy President through a news conference.

By 2009 homosexuality was just a word in the dictionary to me and many others. That was before the much hyped "kill the gays bill" in Uganda. David Bahati meant good for the family values in Uganda, i comment him for that but he did harm too as it opened up the practice  to the rest of those who weren't aware of it.

Many thought that they were fighting 'immorality' and little did they know that they gave the so called vice publicity, hyped it to be worse than murder but what happened? They are now fighting the exponentially motivated effects.

Since 2009, the question is no longer whether Africa accepts Homosexuality but how to have equal rights for everyone. Its no longer about what the Bible says about the LGBTQ but where we agree on compromise. Its about coping up with the new development and go back to drawing boards and see where we have gone wrong. I always say President Museveni has played resilient about the kill the gays law and in 2011 he called upon his party to change mind on the bill before the floor of the house. They failed to do so and  in 2014 signed it to law despite it being passed without quorum.

Am told the supreme Court scrapped the law on that ground.

South Africa is the only country in Africa which has equal marriage rights for both Gay and straight although life there may not be as imagined. The violence against gays in south Africa is worse than here in Kenya.

During the referendum in 2010 , the LGBTQ groups supported the new law despite the fact that there was  no Gay Marriage called for in the new order. The church failed to support the referendum but it was passed anyway. Mark Kariuki's ill timed opposition comes at a bad time especially when we all know that gays in Kenya have never called for same sex marriage but recognition .

To many African nations, homosexuality is a crime and others pretend that they don't exist. The real challenge comes when your son comes and tells you that he is gay.  He farther tells that he wants to bring his boyfriend home for your blessings. What would you do? Kill him? Dial 911? Call for a news conference and tell the world that your son is gay and he should  be jailed under indecency act under the penal code which became obsolete in 2010? What would you do?

Here is another real challenge, as we talk 50% of our teenagers in high school are already practising homosexuality. Recently, St. Joseph boys Kibabii in Bungoma made news after there was tension between pro Homosexuality and those who disagreed. 19 boys were withdrawn from the school by their parents but the school administration has been playing public relations after they realized there was no evidence of the involvement of the boys in sexual matters while in school. With that in mind, personally I assert that the more we talk about it the more we recruit.  I guess it would be good idea when William Ruto proposes the expansion of the prisons to cater for the ever expanding homosexual population that will leave you perplexed.

To sum up, its very hard to legislate on morality. Its hard to deny people what makes them happy and therefore its good for those in power to know that this nation has diversity and killing and jailing doesn't make the situation any better.  It makes it worse. The truth is just like corruption, Gayism is in Africa to stay and its high time for the religious leaders to accept that they will never win this battle.
