Anti-gay protesters demand Kenyan judges be sacked

An anti-gay demonstration is currently underway outside the Supreme Court in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital.

Numerous civil society and religious organizations are venting their frustration over a recent court ruling permitting the registration of gay and lesbian associations within the country.

Among the protesters, some are brandishing signs demanding the resignation of the Supreme Court judges.

A decade ago, a government-funded entity rejected the registration of an LGBTQ rights organization, citing the promotion of same-sex conduct in a nation where homosexual activity remains illegal.

However, this year, judges overturned that decision.

Kenya’s President, William Ruto, has called on religious leaders to advocate for what he terms as traditional values.
