See how president of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta
bluntly and wisely dealt with the issue of gay
rights in Kenya at the press conference with
Obama.
Kenya is an anti-gay country. Below is what
President Obama said when asked during a press
conference this afternoon in Nairobi what he
thinks about gay rights in Kenya.
"The US believes in the principle of treating
people equally under the law and that they
are deserving of equal protection under the
law.and that the state should not
discriminate against people based on their
sexual orientation and I say that recognizing
that there may be people that have different
religious or cultural beliefs but the issue is
how does the state operate relative to
people. You can look at the history of people
around the world. When you start treating
people differently not because of the harm
they are doing to anybody but because they
are different, that's the path whereby
freedom is beginning to erode.
If somebody is a law abiding citizen who is
going about their business and not breaking
any law and obeying the traffic signs and
doing all the things good citizens are
supposed to do and not harming anybody,
the idea they are treated differently based on
who they love is wrong. Full stop." he said
