The decision on whether to legalise homosexuality and same sex marriages in Kenya should be made through a referendum, different faith-based groups and the Family Caucus in Parliament have said.

The groups said the family unit in Kenya is being compromised and the promotion of homosexuality is against the Christian faith and the Constitution that promotes and protects the family unit.
