Gay Artist Joji Baro Steps Down From His Post As A National Gay Representative!
Joji Baro, Kenya’s first openly gay artist has come out to announce to not just the gay community but Kenyans in large that he is stepping down from his post as Mr Red Ribbon 2013. Read his statement below:
Am not pleased to announce that am stepping down as Mr Red Ribbon 2013. The title does not come with responsibilities but just a Ribbon and a crown. The title is marred with frustrations as title holders
tasks are limited to distributing lubes and condom.
I feel frustrated because the title which is supposed to entrust me with National responsibility is the same
one limiting me to a “aanake” leader. When I won the title I was given a 2000/- shopping voucher because they did not want me drink the money-which mall or supermarket does not stock alcohol nowdays? Am born again and I do not take alcohol.
Initially I had invested more than 15,000/- For the event including modeling classes and attires. On that note I finish by saying I will officially be stepping down as Mr Red Ribbon HOYMAS 2013 on upcoming Bring and Share Event.
