Our conservative culture vs 'Obama frenzy'

As Obama visit looms, the current hullabaloo on legalization of same sex unions in the US has intensified debate among the world’s population. Proponents could not hide their joy as the United States Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land. A majority of African countries however are opposed to the move owing to their conservative cultures.

Kenyans should not fall gullible into adopting such practices as they do not conform to our contemporary traditions. We should resist attempts to ‘decolonize’ our minds into believing that same sex marriages are geared towards achieving equality for all. One would wonder why President Obama is advocating for African countries to change their perceptions and embrace gays and lesbians in our society yet he is married to a woman with whom he has sired 2 beautiful kids.
