How Members of the Kenyan LGBT Community Arrived in Court for Ruling on Homosexuality [PHOTOS]

Members of the Kenyan Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community on Friday came out in large numbers at the Milimani Law Courts for the ruling on decriminalizing same-sex relationships, which has been postponed to May.

Some of the gay couples who turned up for the much-awaited ruling matched outfits while others arrived at the court while holding hands, hoping they would finally get the freedom to openly enjoy their unions.

The ruling was scheduled to be issued by a three-judge bench comprising of Justices Roselyne Aburili, John Mativo, and Chacha Mwita.

Speaking in court on Friday, Justice Mwita says the ruling has been postponed because the judgment is not ready.

Mwita says judges involved in the case have not been able to write a judgment because they have been busy.

Rights groups filed the case in 2016 seeking to have the law that criminalizes same-sex relationships in Kenya scrapped on grounds that they are unconstitutional.

Parts of Kenya’s penal code states that anyone who has “carnal knowledge… against the order of nature” can be imprisoned for up to 14 years.

Another section recommends a five-year jail sentence for “indecent practices between males”.

  13. maxileyFeb 22, 2019

    @ Mkenya Halisi, can you give me the main reason you see gays as a threat to you?
    I am very heterosexual,and very comfortable.Gays dont bother me,and I dont bother then.Is it possible to live and let live,and fight corruption, stealing, rape,unemployment.These are the things that make or break a nation. For all I care homosexuals dont threaten society as much as heterosexuals do.
    I personally believe that they were born that way.Who in their right mind would chose to be gay in the midst of all these hate, discrimination,and all sorts of insults?
    Yes in every human society,there exists homosexuals.They will always be with us. The faster we embrace/tolerate them,the better for society as awhole.Remember some of them are very productive,and in good standing of the law, more than alot of heterosexuals.
    Finally do you ever wonder if they are disgusted with heterosexuals,but just tolerate them?My two cents.

  14. emmaFeb 23, 2019

    I really agree with you 100℅ I m not homosexual but I don't hate them. I am from Ghana and trust me the situation is really bad here. I just pray our government decriminalize it.

  15. Wow!Feb 23, 2019

    Maxiley stop Defending your Comrades in Murder.

  16. maxileyFeb 24, 2019

  18. Wow!Feb 23, 2019

  19. pitzFeb 25, 2019

    all these are just seeking body pleasure just for a while leaving without purpose not knowing where you are and where you want to go.you just there ignoring to know the truth about our being and our existing purpose.sinners by choice!!!!!!

  20. Imara DaimaFeb 22, 2019

    Tusiwe wepesi kuwakosoa (critisize) hawa ndugu na dada zetu walio mashoga. Kwa nini? Walifundishwa kuchukua msimamo wa ngono (sex stand) waliyo nayo sasa kutoka kwa wakristo na waislamu waliokuja Kenya bila kualikwa.

    Pia tusiwalaumu (blame) walevi kwa sababu, ukisoma Yohana (John) 2:1-11,utaona ya kwamba mwana mariamu alibadilisha maji???? yakawa mvinyo (wine). Lakini hakujua kwa sababu, kunywa MAJI ni bora kwa mwili kuliko kunywa MVINYO.

  21. Imara DaimaFeb 22, 2019

    Ndugu @Mwangi Kiratu: Nakauomba tafadhali usimkosoe (criticize) MWUMBAJI (CREATOR). Kwa nini? Sura tuliyo nayo tulipewa na MWUMBAJI.

    Hakuna mtu aliyetaka kuzaliwa!
    Hakuna mtu aliyechagua kuwa mwanamume au mwanamke!
    Hakuna mtu aliyechagua baba au mama yake kabla hajazaliwa!
    Hakuna mtu aliyechagua mahali pa kuzaliwa!
    Hakuna mtu aliyechagua sura yake!
    Hakuna mtu aliyechagua kuwa mfupi au kuwa mrefu!

    Some marriages are miserable enough to turn someone gay forever 😂.

  23. Wow!Feb 23, 2019

    Don't play Lotto on People's lives. Many heterosexual DIVORCERS (for Homosexuality) never Live long (and if they do: They go around like Zombies).

  24. AnosFeb 22, 2019

    The good book says we are all made in the image of God. You say the book is the word of God. But you call humans that don't behave like you ugly bitches, weird animals, mashetani. Well then, ins't the image of God rather problematic if these humans were 'created' in the image of their God? Or by what standards do you judge them? If not God's then is it satans? Make up your minds. Are we together?

  25. Wow!Feb 23, 2019

    Then some Turn themselves into the Image of Satan👹(out to kill God's wonderful Creation).

  26. yonah aderoFeb 22, 2019

    Come on guys, understand and accept them.They are part and parcel of our society.You can't kill them.You can't jail them.They are very normal though different.This sexual orientation is as old as man.They are not a threat to the human race.

  27. Wow!Feb 23, 2019

    But they're Killing the Society with their HIV👹virus.

  28. mkenya halisiFeb 22, 2019

  29. MumbiFeb 22, 2019

    A good number of my workmates are gay. They are very productive, professional, and a joy to work with. Kenya has grave problems with accountability, poor governance, and gross mismanagement of public resources. We need to get serious about the substantial fundamentals of lifting our nation from poverty and ignorance instead of wasting time on non-issues. Progressive nations embrace homosexuality and they are better off for it.

  30. Wow!Feb 23, 2019

    I quit my Job (for another) because of Gay mafians (at the former). I have since been Sanctified (and have no Regrets).

  35. WanyekiFeb 23, 2019

    I am with you Mumbi.
    There are very touching and burning issues in Kenya's general life.Gay or whatever isn't one of them.Why can't we deal with the root cause of the nation's poverty instead of dwelling in stuff that won't help anybody.Let's first fight corruption Right,Left and Center,before we talk of LGBT..These people aren't our priority at the moment...They should never be..Grow up kENYANS.Do what is helpful to our nation.

  36. mkenya halisiFeb 23, 2019

    @mumbi i will choose corruption n bad governance anytime than a society full of devos,bootlicker,mashogas,mashetani?

  39. KamauFeb 23, 2019

    Just because Europeans and Americans are doing it does not mean we must do it. At times I wonder why our freedom fighters had to die if we want everything European, and hate everything African. We like to be identified by our colonial names, we seems proud to have our Facebook's showing pictures of us with Europeans, we love London and are disgusted by matope in Nairobi, we prefer to call our kids Sydney instead of Nairobi, we feel good communicating in English, even among ourselves instead of our mother toungs, it seems to me that we should have let the British keep colonizing Kenya because technically, now they colonizers our brains.

  44. MasindeFeb 25, 2019

    1Cor6:9 It's very clear how God views homosexuality. Read it and send to many we may help save many souls.

  45. MgeniFeb 26, 2019

    So does this mean that if the rulling came and law remains as it is all the brave faces that came out will be arrested/persecuted/lynched? When people claim that homosexuality is " not African" what exactly do they mean? What is the real interest of wananchi in a cou that has set to invite and embrace everyone "equally"- Hey we coined "Kenya, Hakuna matata!". Is it because we're "too Christian", too morally upright, too African, too adamant, too selfish? In that case, if that's the definition of a "good person" then I would rather not be associated with being Christian or African. I choose to accept everyone, just as they are.

  46. hypocriteFeb 26, 2019

    All these hypocrites busy hating on gays .. yet they are busy screwing their wives buttholes ... kwani what is the difference - si yote inatoa mavi - besides ... gays have the cleanest butts coz the it plays 2 roles - removing shit and its also the vagina so they must keep it clean at all times - sio kama ya uhuru, raila, Atwoli, museveni na kadhalika including you and I who simply wipe in a hurry and leave it stinking ... trust me - am speaking out of experience - I tasted my first man while in prison and it was as clean and wet as a virgin's vagina ... habari ndiyo hio
