Senator Edwin Sifuna: There is no law in Kenya against being gay. The penal code puts a penalty on having sexual conduct that is against the order of nature, including between a man and a woman. In this country statutory rape is labeled as early marriage #DayBreak@TrevorOmbija
They gather to condemn the right of association of God’s creations but never gather to condemn those who pillage the country leaving HIS people poor, hungry and sick!
Great to see the Supreme Court of Kenya uphold the right of association 4 LGBTQ.
"interpretation of (const) which excludes people based on their sexual orientation would conflict with the principles of human dignity, inclusiveness, equality, human rights and non-discrimination.’
Words cannot even explain how we as a community are feeling right now.
Edwin Chiloba was a fighter, fighting relentlessly to change the hearts and minds of society when it came to lgbtq+ lives.
Another soul lost due to hate. You will be missed. RIP🕊️

We hear you and we want to keep listening, learning & evolving. In Feb 2021, we commissioned the @CEPData, to carry out a confidential survey with grantee partners to understand what we are doing well and what we could do better. Here's our response https://t.co/WgBT8oxqo6
Worldwide, #LGBTIQ+ people are poor, unemployed and economically disadvantaged. Our #FreetobeMe program with local organizations in #Africa, the #MiddleEast & #Asia strives to increase the #SocioEconomicRights of the LGBTIQ+ community 👉 https://t.co/bBUd9ujU6a
With @hivosroea, we developed a special initiative for #LGBTIQ+ #students from the rural region of Kakamega, to gather together safely. This makes them feel less lonely and more confident in being #open about who they are🏳️🌈
