Reading from the preamble to the constitution, I would like to give my
*thoughts* below within the text of the constitution copied from a previous
email
CONSTITUTION OF KENYA
PREAMBLE
ACKNOWLEDGING the supremacy of the Almighty God of all creation:
*My belief is that this is a declaration within the constitution that the
supremacy of The Almighty is ABOVE ALL. I doubt if there is any religion
that accepts LGBT relationships to be fine. Going back to the scripts we
will NOTE a whole nation being destroyed due to this very act. Whether
Kenya has a state religion or not GAY relations shouldn’t be ok. *
HONOURING those who heroically struggled to bring freedom and justice to
our land:
PROUD of our ethnic, cultural and religious diversity, and determined to
live in peace and unity as one indivisible sovereign nation:
*Proud of ethnic diversity, none of our diverse culture agree with this
act. Am not refuting that it has been practised for donkey years; however
NEVER has it been FORCED DOWN our throats to accept it as a norm. We did
interact with gays before but they were not openly blatantly plying their
trade. This only started when the west started pushing.*
*There is a LINE we as a people MUST DRAW! Come on guys!*
RESPECTFUL of the environment, which is our heritage, and determined to
sustain it for the benefit of future generations:
COMMITTED to nurturing and protecting the well-being of the individual, the
family, communities and the nation:
RECOGNISING the aspirations of all Kenyans for a government based on the
essential values of human rights, equality, freedom, democracy, social
justice and the rule of law:
* If we play the HUMAN RIGHT card, then why arrest a consenting adult who
chooses to commit suicide? Isn’t it his right to live?*
*Freedom comes with responsibility and most of all we OWE it to the
generations to come to maintain a MORAL FABRIC that reflects us as a
people! LGBT doesn’t stand the test of morality if it goes against the very
supreme being that we claim to acknowledge!*
EXERCISING our sovereign and inalienable right to determine the form of
governance of our country and having participated fully in the making of
this Constitution:
ADOPT, ENACT and give this Constitution to ourselves and to our future
generations.
GOD BLESS KENYA
*These are my opinions, I don’t mean to disrespect anyone. *
*Twahir*

I am open to any introduction and as I said the issue of morality is
subjective and conscience based. You may see gay relationship as okay and
right from your perspective. However, to another person, it may be immoral
depending on one’s beliefs.
The board has also given the reasons behind the ban.

@Lawrence
Why is love between two consenting non-abusive people a morality issue?
Please explain?
There are many issues of morality in relationships, but what does the
sexual orientation of the partners have to do with anything?
So basically you are saying being gay is immoral, it would be nice if you
could back that up without resorting to the first testament.
Once again, I am more than willing to introduce you to my LGBT friends and
their morality. If you would like to be introduced and learn something,
contact me.
Kindly,
Alex
