GHAFLA POLL: Should More Gay Celebrities Come Out Of The Closet?

There are alot of gay men and women in Kenya’s media and that isn’t up for debate. We have heard alot rumours about closeted homosexuals and I can empathize with them: it must feel like hell on Earth to have to deny who you are.

And we know or have caught whiffs of rumours -tantalizing, sweet smelling rumours. Rumours whispered when few are around about media and entertainment personalities. From radio personalities to news anchors to singers, to rappers and down to some of my teammates at Ghafla.

But after Gh! carried the story about Binyavanga Wainaina coming out (which led to the explosion of the gay debate in Kenya). And that has had us all wondering whether Kenyans are finally ready to accept gay celebrities.

Is Kenya finally ready to let go of the stupid, myopic, inhumane and cruel stereotypes and attitudes to gay people? I hope so. But have you say. Will you cling to your understanding of religious teachings and continue to persecute homosexual Kenyans?

Have your say below:
