Tuko.co.ke reports that in the course of the joint
press conference with Kenyan president Uhuru
Kenyatta, Obama spoke about the incidents
of different treatment of gay people. Kenyatta, when asked about the gay rights
issue, quickly and clearly expressed his position,
saying that homosexuality was a non-issue for
Kenya. The American president said: Kenyan government accountable to Kenyan
people The state should not discriminate
against people based on their sexual
orientation Freedoms begin to erode when
people are treated different, and bad things
happen.His Kenyan colleague, on his part, explained: The fact of the matter is that Kenya and US Share
many values as family but there are some thing s
that we must admit that we dont share. For
Kenyans today the issue of gay rights is a non-
issue. Recall that gay rights in general, and the anti
same-sex marriages law in particular, became
the point of controversy during Muhammadu
 Buharis visit to the US. The American side had
previously stated that they would pressure
Nigeria into cancelling the law. However, the Nigerian leader was categoric, despite the crucial
 importance of the US support in the fight against
Boko Haram. The issue of gay marriage came up here
yesterday. President Muhammadu Buhari was
 point blank. Sodomy is against the law in Nigeria,
and abhorrent to our culture.
