In Kenya, Lesbians,
Gays, Transgender and Bisexuals are often stigmatized, discriminated and
subjected to attacks because of their sexual orientations.
Out of the 54 countries in Africa, Kenya is among
the 37 countries that have criminalized homosexual acts. According to Pew
Global Attitudes Project (2007), 97% of Kenyans believe that homosexuality is a
way of life that society should not accept. Highly ranked political leaders
like the president and deputy president and the religious leaders have publicly
denounced homosexual acts and have made it clear that the LGBT community have
no room and place in this country. This has contributed to widespread hate,
discriminations and attacks against the LGBT community in the country.
