Why Kenya Must Learn To Embrace Homosexual Celebrities!

John 8:7-8

“But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.…”

 

Luke 6:31
Do to others as you would have them do to you.

 

Mark 12:31
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

 

Perhaps it’s time for Kenya as a society to embrace homosexuality. And just like that, the first thing that comes to your mind is that I, Nwasante, son of Asante Violet, God’s Chosen Blogger must be gay.
Nay, sorry, I am not. But even if I were, what would that have to do with anything? Are homosexuals not human? When they get cut, do they not bleed? When hurt do they not cry? Do they not love with the same passion heterosexuals love? No, you do not have to be gay to answer. Love, like pain, fear, hate& anger are universal.

That said, our self hate, our hatred for our own is the reason many Kenyan artists whom I know for a fact to be homosexual refuse to come out of the closet.

What a ridiculous notion! Think about it, because I have been taught to fear your hate for me, I cannot be who I am? I cannot love whomever I want to? Isn’t this alot like apartheid? Isn’t this alot like Zionism? Isn’t this fascism?

I lost myself there and probably you as well. Google fool!

Think about it this way, because we have refused to embrace homosexuality, Kenyan artists other than Joji Baro cannot express themselves ergo we lose some of the most beautiful works of musical art because they aren’t free to create. If you work as a creative, then you can appreciate the need to need for creative control over your work. And I know I derive mine from my proud heritage -my identity.

 

Thing is, to deny someone else the right to be who they are is wrong. I am not saying that homosexuals should prance about kissing each other (unless they are a hot lesbian couple). No, seriously, as open minded as I am, I must admit that seeing men kiss still creeps me out. But what I, God’s Chosen Blogger am saying is that entertainment as a whole should embrace everyone’s rights to be who they are.
