We need to point out again and again that external influences (such as US evangelicals and the anti-western rhetoric by Russia) are wrong by bringing out that lgbt+ people have been and are part of Kenya’s past, present & will be part of its future COC Nederland Aidsfonds International

The Kenyan Supreme Court ruled on 24/02/2023 that Kenyan authorities were wrong 2 ban registration of #Repeal162 because #LoveIsHuman . However, the penal code remains intact & still criminalizes sexual acts ‘against the order of nature’ which in effect continues to criminalize same sex acts. @Galck_ke

The Supreme Court ruling triggered a wave of anti-lgbt+ violence against lgbt+ organisations and lgbt+ activists and other citizens. At present, many activists have faced physical and/or verbal abuse, they lost jobs and/or homes as a result of the current backlash. KHRC

Entire organizations have had to close doors to stay safe. This wave of anti-lgbt+ violence understandably triggers strong feelings of anxiety, stress and fear. Many friends express fear of going outside on the streets. @Defenders Coalition 🇰🇪 KNCHR USAID Kenya British Institute in Eastern Africa UK in Kenya 🇬🇧🇰🇪

On the 17th March 2023, an anti-lgbt+ demonstration is planned on the coast and we fear that this demo will be accompanied with raids on lgbt+ organizations and attacks on lgbt+ citizens. We need all of us to #SpeakOut and spread the message that #QueerisAfrican Mwa_Kenya

The fact that a majority in the world are Right handed doesn't make the Left Handed ones wrong. Let's stop hurting others in the name of "morals". #RightToLifeLGBTIQKenya

In respect to the right of life for every Kenyan as guaranteed in our SCoK (2010), this must stop! Individual's openly commiting to kill the #LGBTIQFolks and no action taken to them is not a good way to go as a nation governed by the rule of law #RightToLifeLGBTIQKenyans
