MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL, ARE 15% OF KENYANS GAY AT ALL?
In one of those rare moments, Kenya gets to stand in front of a mirror. It's highly improbable that what is reflected back will be interpreted the same way by all citizens. So, when Nominated Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo says 15% of Kenyans are either gays or lesbians, it's understandable that what this mirror reflects back will not be agreeable to all.
The fact that this assertion was made on the floor of the House and a direct reference was made about the possibility of 15% of MPs likewise being 'non-heterosexual,' almost stalled the debate on a matter of crucial national importance.
The furore generated in Parliament was equally witnessed in social media circles, as reflected below.

Who really cares how many people are gay? it is not a disease that we should worry about. i believe there are more serious issues that need attention.this sudden obsession with people's sexual orientation is very annoying.
WHO CARES,SEXUAL ORIENTATION WON,T AFFECT ANYTHING,AND IF THEIR GAY OR NOT WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE
I am genuinely appalled by the MP's reactions. As the "leaders" of this country, they should be the first to admit that there are gays in Kenya and champion acceptance or at least accommodation. So for they to react like that, it's like they are telling the Kenyans who've been chanting lynch songs to light their matches and start lynching the gays. People get away with murder, theft of billions and what not, but being gay is a "sin"?! Kenyans need to get off their high horse. We are not that righteous.
Hang the gay men!!
we should not hate gay people for whom they are but appreciate them and try to deliver them from that demonic life.i have a friend who was gay and he had fallen in love with me.i was shocked when he told me that he loves me and he wanted me.instead of critising him i told him that its okey even though i was afraid.it was arkward and i felt helpless to be loved by a guy like me.i asked the guy if he really loves me he should let me help him out.He got saved at the end,he is greatful 4 his life is normal.in his childhood he was abused and that was the reason 4 his life as a gay.Help these people they are suffering and remember not to critirize them.God will reward you 4 saving a soul.
NKT! WHY THIS NON-STARTER? SO OK, WE'RE DEBATING ABOUT GAYS AND LESBIANS IN KENYA.
LIKE THAT IS THE ONLY FISH IN OUR PAN. WHAT ABOUT JUSTICE TO THE P.E.V. VICTIMS? ITS NOT THE OCAMPO 6 WHO SLAUGHTERED OUR FATHERS, TORCHED OUR MOTHERS WHILE SEEKING REFUGE IN A SANCTUARY, RAPED AND KILLED OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. THERE REAL KILLERS WHO WILLINGLY & KNOWINGLY COMMITTED THESE HEINOUS ACTS ARE STILL OUT THERE, WAITING FOR ANOTHER SEASON FOR A REPEAT PERFORMANCE!
FIRST LOBBY FOR THE ARREST OF THOSE FUCKERS THEN DEBATE ABOUT GAYS AND LESBIANS. IF ITS GAYS AND LESBIANS THAT WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE P.E.V. THEN PUT THEM IN THE SLAMMER. IF GAYS AND LESBIANS ARE SOMEHOW RAPING YOU THEN REPORT THE MATTER TO THE AUTHORITIES. IF GAYS AND LESBIANS DO NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT HOW YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND GO TO WORK/COLLEGE AND THEN SLEEP LATER IN THE NIGHT THEN LEAVE THEM TO BURN LATER ON IN HELL. GAYS/LESBIANS, I TRULY BELIEVE THATS WHERE YOUR LIFESTYLE AND CHOICES WILL GET YOU. AND I WONT APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT I BELIEVE.
ALL OF YOU, FOCUS ON THE REAL ISSUES!!
