@Muganda, and @Muriel, I have decided to introduce some 'evidence' and perhaps wisdom into our discussion. The collected papers of Desmond Morris, 'Patterns of reproductive behavior'.

I have particularly read about 'Homosexuality in the ten-spined stickleback'. The investigator describes how territorial rights are created, normal courtship behavior and goes on to show how territorial rights, scarcity of females, and the need for sexual expression join to engender homosexual behavior.

Are these factors present in our society? Yes. I know some, like @AlphDoti will say women are excess. But taking a woman to bed isn't cheap or easy. And those without property are for most parts out the game. And this love tension is the political and economic tension.

I can see many such patterns across the society we live in. So the voice of the homosexual is a political voice, and it's meaning is not fixed, or specific.

And the evolutionary importance is great.

I admit I hardly know anything about B. Maina. However his coming out of the closet is a good thing because:

1. When people are getting married they announce it to everyone. Men brag about whom they are banging all the time. Women always talk about their relationships. Radio shows in Kenya are full of people bragging about their affairs. So why can't gay people also come out of the closet ?

2. By coming out, the fact that he is a big name will give others courage to come out. As more and more people come out, Kenya will eventually get to the point where a person being gay is a non-issue and not worth all this hulabaloo that generates 10 pages of comments every time a thread is opened on Wazua. When the lead actor on the Big Bang theory came out of the closet juzi, people just yawned. And he said that he was happy that his gayness is a non-issue. That show is still a huge hit. Thats what Gays in other places are trying to achieve.

3. Bwana Maina has decided to be true to himself and his family instead of hiding. It is a fact that the gay movement is unstoppable. Complaining on Wazua and elsewhere is like banging your head against the wall. You are giving yourself headaches over something you cannot stop. You may as well learn to deal with it. Perhaps the best way to deal with it is just ignore it instead of complaining about gays coming out of the closet. Gay people coming out of the closet hurts nobody.

And Africans have much bigger fish to fry. If the clergy and other citizens spent as much time addressing tribalism as they do complaining about gays, Kenya would be so much further ahead. Tribalism is the biggest cancer in Kenya.

Unlike gay behaviour, tribalism kills people, stifles development, hinders investment, leads to property destruction, makes Kenyans look primitive and cave-man like, hinders tourism, hinders economic development, leads to irrational hate, divides families, prevents people from getting jobs,leads to the election of incompetent buffoons, is psychologically damaging, causes economic boycotts, makes people feel unsafe, leads to political assasinations, leads to injustice .................

Meanwhile Gays coming out of the closet hurts nobody and people are hear complaining for 10 pages on Wazua

We have our priorities twisted.

I have just been clicking, checking if humans have come back and then going away!!!!

Same here, thanks for the heads up @wash.

Trying to read tycho and gang gives me a headache!!!!
