The Kenyan government has decided to make all LGBTQ content illegal in the country. All movies, series, and TV shows with LGBTQ are banned under Kenyan statutes and carry a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment to 21 years in certain aggravating circumstances.
In Africa, many LGBTQ communities are facing persecution, death and death threats, imprisonment, mob justice segregation, and all sorts of tourter
We managed to talk to some Kenyans to get their point of view about this development but we got mixed reactions, some welcomed the government move whilst others weren't impressed at all
Well, from history we know that such censorship will heighten patronage, so there's that. But please explain to me how it makes sense to ban LGBTQ+ content in a country that is the No 3 highest downloader of LGBTQ+ content in Africa. Stop deceiving yourselves please! Lol said Muriuki from Nairobi
Thumbs Up to Kenya. You hardly watch Hollywood movies, children's cartoons/animation, and series these days without seeing gay scenes, it's just tiring and annoying, said Muzeya Ali
Whenever I hear an argument with phrases like "in my culture", "Our ancestors did not", or "God only created man and woman", I know the argument is very toxic. We have to allow people their rights, whether we like it or not. It's who they are said Chepkirui
Shame on our government, all we complain of is no light, no jobs, no money, no, security, no Goodreads, no water nothing while you guys have everything in abundance that is you have time for LGBTQ you are much concerned about how to Leu hungry people to dig while looking away on their basic needs shame.
The post we made earlier about Kenyan Maasai view on Transgender people shocked many people. We pray for the LGBTQ people and stand with you in Kenya.
