Kenya is an anti-gay country. Below is what President Obama said when asked during a press conference this
afternoon in Nairobi what he thinks about gay rights in Kenya.
"The
US believes in the principle of treating people equally under the law
and that they are deserving of equal protection under the law.and that
the state should not discriminate against people based on their sexual
orientation and I say that recognizing that there may be people that
have different religious or cultural beliefs but the issue is how does
the state operate relative to people. You can look at the history of
people around the world. When you start treating people differently not
because of the harm they are doing to anybody but because they are
different, that's the path whereby freedom is beginning to erode.
