‘You’re going to get yourself into trouble’ for rejecting LGBT agenda: CNN host to Kenyan President

Image
An incredulous and outraged Christiane Amanpour warned Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday that “you’re going to get yourself into trouble,” following his strong repudiation of the LGBT political agenda in a CNN interview with the journalist. After Kenyatta made it clear to Amanpour that Kenyan society rejects homosexual behavior and has no interest in establishing “rights” for the practice of sodomy, Amanpour took off her glasses, and, shaking her head, began to scold Kenyatta. “You’re going to get yourself into trouble, because what you’ve categorically just stated is that this is not an issue for us, for the Kenyan people, and you don’t think that the idea of their privacy, their equality, their rights, is important!” Amanpour told Kenyatta. “This is a global issue right now.” Amanpour told Kenyatta that Kenya’s law prohibiting sodomy is a “holdover” from “colonial Victorian” law, and claimed that homosexuals “just want to have equal rights the same privacy an...

LGBT advocates blast Kenya Film Classification Board Chair for being righteous

Image
An ordinary Kenyan official blasted by hysterical  LGBT advocates as “ Kenya ’s moral policeman” has stated on Facebook about being granted a diplomatic visa to enter the US , saying it confounds critics of his anti-LGBT , anti-atheist policies. Ezekiel Mutua has been chief of the Kenya Film Classification Board for less than a year, yet has already become famous for his mandate to ban TV adverts, parties organised on social media and even Google search results. The official will be travelling to the US to attend the Web Rangers Summit in California, a Google-organised convention on online safety. A video promoting immoral gay sex in Africa entitled Same Love was banned in its entirety from Google-owned YouTube , at Mr Mutua’s request, before it was eventually allowed to stay with a warning that it may contain “offensive” content. Because of my stand on moral values, including the banning of content promoting LGBT and Atheists culture in Kenya, someone wrote in a local daily...

Archbishop Souraphiel is the patriarch of the Ge’ez Rite of the Church, which represents Catholic Christians in some of the most embattled places in the world, including Eritrea, Jerusalem, and Somalia, where Christians are regularly targeted by Islamic extremist militias. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Ethiopia and punishable with one to fifteen years in prison. Archbishop Souraphiel was a signatory to a letter, also signed by the heads of the Ethiopian Orthodox and Anglican Churches, to ask for a constitutional prohibition on homosexual activity. At a conference in 2008, Catholic and Protestant churches formed a national task force called the Ethiopia...

Homosexual slippery dip: Kenya legalizes polygamy

Image
NAIROBI , Kenya,  – Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta signed Marriage Bill 2014 on Tuesday, legalizing polygamous “marriages” between one man and multiple women. “Parties to a marriage have equal rights and obligations at the time of marriage, during the marriage and at the dissolution of the marriage. All marriages registered under the Act have the same legal status," he said in a  statement . Although strongly criticized by the nation's Christian leaders and the Kenya's Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), the new law was hailed by some as a return to traditional African practices, shorn of Western Christian influence. "In Africa, polygamy is a way of life, and when you're making a law you must go back to what the society wants,” said Nderitu Njoka, the chairman of Men's Empowerment and Development in Kenya. Kenyan lawyer Judy Thongori blamed the existing taboo on British colonial laws, which do not account for the practice of many Kenyan et...

Kenyan Cardinal hits back at Obama over homosexuality: Progressives ‘already ruined their society’

Image
NAIROBI, Kenya, – Among the chorus of African leaders responding to Obama last week after the president urged Africans to accept homosexuality was a Kenyan Cardinal, who strongly urged Obama to “forget” his promotion of homosexual behavior. “Those people who have already ruined their society...let them not become our teachers to tell us where to go,” said Cardinal John Njue , Archbishop of Nairobi and president of the Kenyan Episcopal Conference . U.S. President Barack Obama and Senegalese President Macky Sall face off “I think we need to act according to our own traditions and our faiths,” he added. On June 28, Obama began a three-country tour of Africa by celebrating two U.S. Supreme Court decisions liberalizing homosexual “marriage,” and then offered a thinly-veiled criticism of his host nations. “My basic view is that regardless of race, regardless of religion, regardless of gender, regardless of sexual orientation, when it comes to the law, people should be ...

African Christians and Homosexuality

Image
"Homosexuality & the Bible" booklet (Photo credit: Fellowship of Reconciliation ) In traditional Africa , homosexuality and lesbianism, same-sex intercourse and same-sex marriage were not mentioned in public. If they were mentioned at all, it was only in hushed tones. Given the traditional stress on procreation, even the idea of heterosexual intercourse without procreative intent was abhorrent. Homosexual intercourse was considered even more disgusting. Two African leaders have articulated this strong feeling against homosexuality. Daniel Arap Moi , the former president of Kenya, is reported to have said: “Kenya has no room or time for homosexuals and lesbians. Homosexuality is against African norms and traditions and even in religion it is considered a great sin. Homosexuality is a scourge which runs counter to Christian teachings and African tradition.” Similarly, the president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe has said, “I find it extremely outrageous and repugnant to m...

UN launches worldwide immoral campaign for homosexual rights

Image
The UN human rights office has launched a media campaign promoting homosexual and transgender rights. The yearlong initiative, funded by outside sources, raises questions over the use of UN offices for what some governments will consider propaganda. The UN leaders’ campaign to cast sexual rights as universally agreed human rights comes after years of failing to gain governmental support for homosexuality. Attempts to legitimize special rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ( LGBT ) have repeatedly failed at the Human Rights Council, the governing body over the UN office that produced the campaign. Navi Pillay , the UN’s top human rights official, announced the “Free & Equal” campaign last week in South Africa. One ad proclaims, “ LGBT rights are human rights.” In another, Pillay states LGBT rights are “nothing new or special.” Critics point out that human rights apply to all people. LGBT rights are distinct, and lead to instituting same-sex marriage, requ...

Kenyan deputy president strongly rebuffs Obama on gay ‘marriage’: ‘We believe in God’

Image
MAILI KUMI, Kenya, July 1, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A second African president has rebuffed President Barack Obama's promotion of homosexuality in foreign relations during his $100 million tour of the continent. Obama said he respects “people's personal views and their religious faith, et cetera,” but “when it comes to how the state treats people, how the law treats people,” he believes the equality of homosexuality and the traditional family is“a principle that I think applies universally.” Deputy President of Kenya William Ruto responded during Sunday Mass that Kenya is committed to the nuclear family as taught by the Scriptures. “Those who believe in other things, that is their business,” Ruto said at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church in Maili Kumi. “We believe in God.” “This nation, the nation of Kenya,” he said, is “sovereign and God-fearing.” The rebuke came as Obama announced Kenya and five other African nations would receive  $7 billion to provide...
