On homosexuality, courts have stood for Kenyans

The ruling was awaited with much anxiety, not just in Kenya but across the world. It was as if there was a presidential election petition at the Supreme Court whose outcome could alter the political landscape. But no. The case was of one Eric Gitari who together with gay rights activists, had gone to court seeking decriminalisation of homosexuality in Kenya.

It can only be considered unfortunate that such a matter should have found its way into our courts in the first place. The order of nature – which even brute animals know and follow – shows same sex relations were never intended by the Creator. Otherwise, the very instruments for such intercourse would have been designed differently. Furthermore, the outcome of such relations would have resulted in procreation, which is a natural outcome of sexual relations whether in animals or humans.
