Some of our News Dispatch News readers are wondering whether remarks by Cardinal John Njue that America is a “ruined” society can be categorized under hate speech. I do not know exactly what the cardinal meant but if he was referring to American people as ruined because a society does not exist in vacuum, then this is hate speech and it demands an apology from the cardinal to American people.

Furthermore president Obama did not categorically asserted that he supported the gay communities. What the president said on Thursday during his African tour is that gay people should not be discriminated against simply because they are gays. President Obama said the gay should be treated like other people under the law in Africa.

If gay communities are the ones making society labeled ‘ruined’ then Kenya is not spared either. Many Kenyans are not even aware that homosexual lobby groups in our country are not only well organized, but also well funded. Notable among these funders is the Open Society Foundations of American Billionaire and liberal radical George Soros, and the Urgent Action Fund.

Kenyan people may be surprised that they gays in Kenya have the support of some high-ranking government officials, including politicians. It was behind this kind of support, Kenyan homosexual lobbies were behind plans to sneak in clauses repealing or seriously weakening the penal code section 162-165 (that criminalizes their homosexual behaviour). This was during the law review that culminated in a new constitution in August 2010.

Established in May 2006, GALCK is a coalition of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (GLBTI) organisations based in Kenya. The website galck.org, expressly states their core mission to be the deletion of sections 162-165 of the penal code that criminalizes their lifestyles in Kenya. The coalition is comprised of Minority Women in Action (MWA), Gay Kenya, Ishtar, GALEBITRA, TOMIK, Diverse Outing, Changing Attitudes and Equality Now!

The GALCK General Manager has over the last few years been one, ex-seminarian Mr David Kuria from Kiambu County in Central Province. In late 2010, he commenced issuing press statements challenging former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s position that homosexual behaviour in Kenya remains illegal under the new constitution.

While some media houses have also been accused of being pro-gay, in may this year an Australian citizen accused of having sexual intercourse with other males wants the court to outlaw some sections of the sexual offences Act and declare homosexuality legal in Kenya.

Mr Ian Castleman who is facing criminal charges for having sex with two other male has filed a petition at the High Court challenging the Sexual Offences Act. He says the criminal charges amounts to discrimination because he has been charged because of his sexual orientation.

The two males he is accused of having sexual intercourse with, were residing at an orphanage operated by the petitioner and he offered them financial assistance.

The petitioner wants the High Court to make a decision on the rights of gay people in Kenya.

Through his lawyer, Mr Pravin Bowry, he is asking the High Court to declare that the Sexual offences act is discriminatory towards people who are homosexual. Mr Castleman wants the court to quash the charges against him which he says were preferred contrary to public policy and international law.

Mr Castleman is a Director of Ian Castleman Orphanage Kenya based in Elburgon within Nakuru County. His case was referred to the High Court by a magistrate for constitutional interpretation.

This is taking place when in Texas State some Catholic bloggers and pro-life activists are pointing out that a senior official at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) played an official role in getting a pro-abortionist Davis elected senator.

Real change must come from ordinary people who refuse to be taken hostage by the weapons of politicians in the face of inequality, racism and oppression, but march together towards a clear and unambiguous goal.
