2cents is refffering to western gays who are allowed to adopt kids.
Here in Kenya would you knowingly that so and so are gay and still allow them to adopt a kid maybe from your home or village?
Never Ever.

@Wendz, I put it to you that that is not the question. Indeed the abovementioned question is diversionally. The real question is: Since gays and lesbians exist and live among us, should their practice remain a criminal offence?, should they be harassed, beaten as has happened at the Coast?, should they be so treated until they cower in fear and not reveal their sexual orientation?

The argument as regards unequal access to medical care and information is this: Gays and lesbians may require particular information as how to avoid HIV infection that is peculiar to their practices - no such information is currently available from govt bodies charged with educating the public on HIV. Further, becoz of legal and societal aversion against gays and lesbians, the latter are afraid to give the true history of some of their medical conditions - this is another barrier to medical care. These two aspects is what Murugi' beef was all about.

@ mpenzi,

Gotcha!!!! You are the first one to answer YES to Kaiganjos question.

@segemia, That question is irrelevant and diversionally to the real issue at hand. See my post in reply to Wendz.

@Wendz you simply cannot force people to feel a particular way about a particular sex. Some people are just born preferring one sex over the other. Granted most of us prefer the opposite sex, but some of us (estimated at about 10% in all societies) prefer their own sex.

The difference is that some of those 10% depending on which part of the world they are choose to go on the down low.
