Same sex marriage should be legalized in Kenya

Homosexuality in Kenya is still considered a taboo and unacceptable to the cultural values and morality of Kenyans. Despite various organizations working to protect and improve LGBT rights, same sex marriage is still not permitted in Kenya. Article 45(2) of the new Kenyan Constitution states that every adult has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex, based on the free consent of the parties.

Leaders within the three dominate religions in Kenya which consist of the Catholic, Anglican and Islam, have publicly condemned homosexuality and transgenderism as signs of decadence, disease, and immorality of the highest order. Most Christian leaders view same-sex marriage as a bigger threat to the Christian church than terrorism.
