Kenya Debates Gay Genocide Law

Source: Pink News UK

A new gay genocide bill that would see gay citizens sentenced to death by stoning is under discussion in Kenya.

“There is need to protect children who are vulnerable to abuse, uncensored information technology, parentless child developmental settings and increasing attempts by homosexuals to raise children in homosexual relationships through adoption, foster care or otherwise.”

The draft bill also introduces life sentences for anyone running ‘brothels for homosexuality purposes’, which would be used to target anyone who lives with a gay person.

Kenya’s current penal code states: “Any male person who, whether in public or private, commits any act of gross indecency with another male person, or procures another male person to commit any act of gross indecency with him, or attempts to procure the commission of any such act by any male person with himself or with another male person, whether in public or private, is guilty of a felony.”

and benefits the US taxpayer (and governments in most Western places) gives them, then I think we need to think about revising the 501(c)(3) tax code, and think about revoking the tax benefits which religious organizations enjoy. If they want to spread anger and hate, let them do it like the Saudis do - with 100% their own money, NOT mine. K&R

28% are Catholic. One would expect international leadership from the various faith groups to say something, but they are far too busy having the odometer checked on the old Renault.
Kenyans clearly love to gamble with their own futures, as about 60% of GDP stems from tourism, and nothing puts a crimp in the tourist dollar like a bit of genocidal insanity.
And where is the Pope, with 28% Catholics there, he could certainly take a fucking stand. Is his silence not an action unto itself, particularly after his years of calling for war on gay rights, 'This is God's war'? 'We must fight it!'. Fuck him. Fuck him and Scott Lively. Both of them. Fuck the smug Anglican leadership, also silent. Fuck them all.
