Anal probes in Kenya

Since Kenya is so interesting, this story is interesting.

A court in Kenya has ruled that it is acceptable to demand that men submit to an anal exam if they are suspected of being gay. A positive result means prison time.

Given President Obama’s family ties with Kenya and his support for LGBTQR rights, I expect a strong condemnation within hours.

PayPal, the company that boycotted Charlotte because the rest of North Carolina does not want transgender bathrooms operates in Kenya.

The HB2 boycott movement seems to have petered out.

    78% of Kenya is Christian, so it must be the Christian thing to do

    The arrests were in Diani, a tourist area along the coast.. It’s not about religion, but rather “un-African”

    The CFR newsletter informs me that President Obama just placed a phone call to the President of Kenya. The topic was Kenya announcing it is going to expel around 600,000 refugees in two weeks, mostly from Somalia.

    I feel confident Minnesota can take them all.
