Kenyan Politician Tells Obama To Keep His Gay Rainbow Homo Stuff To Himself
CNS
When he visits his father’s homeland in Africa later this month,
President Obama is expected to run into vocal opposition over his
administration’s high-profile promotion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) issues.
Obama’s trip to Kenya, his first as
president, is scheduled to take place four weeks after the White House
was bathed in rainbow colors to mark the U.S. Supreme Court ruling
declaring that same-sex marriage is a right.
At a small
pro-family demonstration at the parliament in Nairobi Monday, organized
by the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, participants called on the
American president not to raise the subject during his visit.
“It
is important for us as Kenyans to know that the U.S. is not God,” local
media quoted evangelical Bishop Mark Kariuki as saying, adding that
Obama should not use the visit to “talk about the gay issue.”

Kangata, a lawmaker in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s The National Alliance
(TNA) party, was blunter: “We are telling Mr. Obama when he comes to
Kenya this month and he tries to bring the abortion agenda, the gay
agenda, we shall tell him to shut up and go home.”
According to The Standard of Nairobi, Kangata said Kenyans would demonstrate against Obama over the issue during his visit.
Kenya’s The Daily Nation quoted several other lawmakers’ views on the matter.
“Our son from the U.S.,
Barack Obama, when he comes here, should simply avoid that topic
completely,” added Kamau, “because Kenyans will not be happy with him if
he comes to bring the issue of homosexuality in this country.”
