Kenya Hookers Recruited to Stage Nude Anti-Gay Protest for Obama (The Star, Kenya)

 

"'The procession will be carried out by approximately 5,000 totally naked men and women to protest Obama's open and aggressive support for homosexuality,' said Republican Liberty Party leader Vincent Kidala. … 'In fact - our party has a network of prostitutes in Nairobi, Nakuru and other counties. That is where we shall get these people - whose number we expect to increase,' he told The Star. … He said the prostitutes agreed to participate free of charge since if homosexuality is legalized - they will lose customers."

Kenya – The Star – Original Article (English)

A little-known political party has sought permission for a nude protest to show U.S. President Barack Obama the differences between a man and a woman.

 

The peaceful demonstration against homosexuality will begin on July 22 and 23 at 10 am at the Freedom Corner, said Republican Liberty Party leader Vincent Kidala.

 

"The procession will be carried out by approximately 5,000 totally naked men and women to protest Obama's open and aggressive support for homosexuality," Kidala said in a letter to the county commander in a July 13th letter.

 

"In fact - our party has a network of prostitutes in Nairobi, Nakuru and other counties. That is where we shall get these people - whose number we expect to increase," he told The Star by phone.

 

He said the prostitutes agreed to participate free of charge since if homosexuality is legalized - they will lose customers.

 

 

 

This comes after the White House downplayed demands by a cross-section of Kenyan leaders for Obama to avoid gay talk during his visit. The U.S. president isn't expected to shy away from any topic, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said, in response to a question on the matter during a press briefing last Tuesday.

 

"I had not been made aware of that particular announcement from Kenya. Obviously, we have been clear that when the president travels around the world, he doesn't hesitate to raise concerns about human rights," he said.

 

Obama has used previous trips to Africa to urge governments to decriminalize homosexuality, but leaders led by Deputy President William Ruto have warned him not to discuss it.

 

Anti-Gay Uproar

 

The anti-gay uproar against same-sex marriage is gaining traction ahead of President Obama’s visit on the 24th. Earlier this month, anti-gay protesters, including religious leaders, members of Parliament and activists took to the streets of Nairobi waving placards and chanting “Obama No Gay” as they marched through streets of the city.

Homosexuality is illegal in Kenya. Speaking during a protest dubbed "Protect the Family," Bishop Mark Kariuki, president of the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, called the practice “un-Godly.” Father Daniel Bertea, the priest in charge of the Consolata Shrine in Westlands in addition to Muslim representatives also attended the march, which began at Uhuru Park.

 

Deputy President William Ruto and Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi have also lashed out at homosexual rights proponents.

 

“We have heard that in the U.S. they have allowed gay relations and other dirty things,” Ruto said on Sunday. "I want to say as a Christian leader that we will defend our country of Kenya. We will stand for our faith and our country."

 

Muturi said that the U.S. president will not be permitted to discuss homosexuality during his address to parliament. "Those advancing gay rights must similarly appreciate our Christian, Islamic and African traditional values - which abhor homosexuality," he said.

 

Muturi said the parliament and citizens have the capacity to, "sanction any advances perceived to encroach on our social fabric."

 

Landlord Tells Evicted Gay Couple 'Wait for Obama'

 

Gay rights' activist Dennis Nzioka reports that two men were evicted from their home in Kabete, Nairobi for being homosexual.

 

Gay Star News reported that the two, aged 26 and 29 were evicted by the landlord from their apartment on July 3, where they had been living for two years.

The report says that the couple had told the landlord that they were friends living together as a way of saving money, but that the landlord evicted them saying, "go wait for your Obama."

 

Speaking to the The Star, Nzioka said that prior to being evicted, rumors that the couple were gay had spread among their neighbors, who began to give them the cold shoulder. He said the two had reported their case to his site Watetezi, which monitors human rights violations against the LGBT community. Nzioka said one of the men has been assisted with accommodation following the incident while the other has moved home with his family.

 

Kenyans have raised an uproar over whether President Obama will discuss homosexuality during his visit on July 24.

 

It isn't an issue being discussed at the G-8, and at first glance, one might mistake this for a headline from the...

On Monday, a cross-section of Christian organizations held anti-gay demonstrations in the central business district to protest any attempts to legalize same sex marriage in the country. Led by Bishop Mark Kariuki and Kiharu MP Irungu Kang'ata, they warned Obama to steer clear of any comments on same sex marriage during his visit.

 

Nzioka dismissed the clerics' concerns, saying that Obama will probably not endorse gay marriage while in the country, but ask Kenyans to respect the human rights of people whatever their sexual orientation.

 

He added, "marriage is the farthest thing" from the minds of LGBT Kenyans", and that they are faced with more pressing issues like day-to-day violence.

 

"We do not want marriage. We simply want acceptance," he said.

 

He said media should highlight how homophobia in the country has led to violence and evictions among other forms of infringement of gay peoples' human rights.
