2gay Kenyans get married in the UK.
My mom forwarded me an email with the pictures and her only comment was "Ngai, ni wa kikuyu!" *God, they are kikuyus.
My mom is the most liberal parent i have ever met. I know she's got nothing against gay people. She's met my gay friends both in Kenya and in SA. Funtimes.
As long as I'M not gay. (that's always the line right?)
I've been reading on the net about how it's been all over the news, and the matter wasn't handled well. Everyone was/is talking about it.
Although, i digress, i heard the blackout that happened yesterday was a temporary distraction.
I'm straight, i've had my share of girl on girl action, you know, typical college girl stuff. But i'm into men. i've got nothing against gay folk. and i don't mean nothing against like 'they should only do whatever behind closed doors', or 'they should stop airing shows like will and grace or the l-word.' or 'children shouldn't be exposed to that kind of behaviour' that's a load of bull. I'm no expert but i know you can't catch it! It's not a cold! Shit... The only issue i'd have is if they were excessively PDAin (Public Display of Affection) which by the way is my stand for straight couples as well... So yeah. So don't say i don't get it. they can makeout a little, hold hands but even seeing a guy and a girl, guy's tongue down girl's throat, guy's hand down girl's pants or in girl's blouse... Get a room! :)
Now replace "girl" with "guy" dudes, get a room still! No bif...
Homophobia is soooo 1990's!
I was reading this guy's facebook status, he was saying how the government won't accept it! And he said "this is Kenya! They shouldn't even be thinking about such things!"
That really annoyed me... ignorant mother***
So anywho, i read this statement somewhere, it was either another blog or some website
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A COW TO FIGHT AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY.
So here is a very heterosexual female not understanding why the rest of the population can't accept gay folk. They're not hurting anyone, just being them. I'm a sucker for love. How some gay guys talk about their relationships... it's so sweet, they still get whipped the way straight people do. Love is love. just be thankful to exist in the same space and time as the person you've fallen inlove with. (i think Maya Angelou said that in some movie)
Then how people were calling it UNNATURAL and UNAFRICAN???
Un-African? Really? I'm just happy where i study, the gay guys are allowed to be open. The cool cute gay guys actually their own clique at varsity. infact, the last MR.(name of uni) was gay... and i'm in SA so they shouldn't go around calling it UNAFRICAN.
UN-CHRISTIAN...
There's other people using religion as an aspect.
"it's written in the bible"
"God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve"
I'm sure the gay guys who are reading this must be rolling their eyes. They must have heard that "Adam and Steve" line a thousand times!
what i don't get is how the same people calling it un-cristian and reaching for the Holy Water, are the people we party with, who are doing the whole drinking, smoking, casual sex, stealing, lieing and coveting thing. So fine, of you're gonna use religion as a crutch, let's say for a moment that being gay is a "sin" you should get of your high horse coz there's a bunch of other commandments that you are breaking as well...
Religion is currently not a strong point of mine.
Then i saw on twitter and also on blogger that the govt. Is gonna spend ksh.40mil to count the gay folk. I still don't know what my take on that is... It's awesome that they are starting to acknowledge that gay people are there instead of sweeping it under the rag like they were some kind of problem... I'd like to know what the gays think about this whole census thing. And will they be willing to come out and be counted, or is the government planning to conduct it annonymously? And are they doing the census with changing the constitution in mind? It's illegal to be gay in Kenya right?
Lemmi know what you guys think.
All i know is that i went to this gay party once, and IT WAS AWESOME! finger food and wine glasses and they had decorated it really well. Fun times! Those guys could dance, poppin and droppin and everything. (i'm not trying to stereotype that all gay men can dance, i'm just saying!) I must have been about seventeen at the time. We just had a "gay old time" (pun intended!)
Peace and love people.
