President: Gay rights 'of no importance' in Kenya

- In an interview with Christiane Amanpour, President Uhuru Kenyatta claims that homosexuality is not an issue of human rights, but rather of "our own base as a culture."
People of Kenya : Focussing on Feeding, Education and Industry for a prosperous nation.
Western Media : What about Gays?
😂 Dude is mega based. We need leaders like him here in the US.
You do know that you can focus on many objectives, right?
Focusing on one thing, let's say gay people, doesn't mean you've abandoned other issues (feeding, education, etc)
There are simply too many gay politicians
ua-cam.com/video/NIz_SKeFYRo/v-deo.html it should be called the LGBTPQ with Pedo in it
Ridiculous
“You’re getting yourself into trouble” She fails to realize that Kenya doesn’t need nor care about their approval.

Africa is like the academy of "get straight to the point"
His power with the English tongue is impressive and demands respect.
OK, but he said irregardless, which is not an academic word
@@ediththeo It is. You can say irregardless or regardless. Currently it is being left and soon it will only be regardless. It depends when you went to school. you are probably younger. He is like 60 yrs old. What was acceptable then is changing now.
@@kemboi3646 no. irregargless is grammatically wrong. profuse use makes it into the dictonary, just like nucular, which george bush used. but it is still wrong. I like Uhuru but that was one of my main pet peeves with his grammar. he also has a few errors in swahili as well. either way, I think he was our most articulate president
@@TheTororist Like I said, it depends. This word was used a few decades ago by most people. It was in mirriam-webster since 1700s. Just like other old English texts, things change. This generation will never use that word since we know it is wrong. He was young in the 1960s 70s and it was probably used by many people. Currently not that much. You can use it informally. It is a dying word just like many others that have stopped to be used.
Telling a president of a sovereign nation “I think you gonna get yourself into trouble”, the audacity, the audacity….
Exactly! I was just replying same under another comment.
i think shes warning him. cause most of the political leaders are threaten by the western to act certain way. they are forced by those devil worshipper. even hollyweird has gay, incest movies/tv shows. disgusting
The CAUCasity* you mean
@@AAA310 It’s White/Jewish liberal syndrome. They love black people, provided they know their place as accessories in pushing their subversive agendas.
She’s a white Karen.
I also love how CNN posted this, trying to blast the dude, but the comment section just agrees with him.
I also agree with him,
People need to realize not every country is the same and what is acceptable in one country, is illegal or hated in another
Western society needs not to force their views on the world.
the western society needs to get a taste of life. not every country should be like yours bruh
the fact that the comment section agrees with this guy doesn't make him correct. Comment sections are rife with bigotry and anti LGBTQ folks
@@Fatih_M177 Which makes them sh*thole nations of hate. I agree.
The audacity of this woman to say "this will get you into trouble". Its of no relevance to anyone, these matters should be kept private. Props to this president!

Except that it's a felony that will get you five years if people know you did it in private.

@MsMissy Yet it is your government who promotes it.
Democracy is not equal to majoritarianism. Otherwise the majority can entrench itself into power by tyrannical means such as creating unwarranted barriers that amount to oppressions.

John Kravitz can you please explain what agenda is being pushed with the prospect of gay acceptance?
“I think you’re going to get yourself into trouble.”
Actually no, I’m the President of Kenya and your just a reporter. Why are you talking to me like my mother?
The country is suffering from Poverty/lack of education and jobs, hunger and they start bringing up gay rights to criticize the country instead of helping the majority...its really pathetic. As their president said, it isn't an issue for now, but one after the more critical issues are addressed and solved
Black politicians in Africa and underdeveloped people in Central Asia learned to speak good words without doing anything useful to advance their society. As a Bashkir who was born and grew up among Kyrgyz people, Kyrgyzstan is slowly, but surely descending to the level of medieval feudal society. It saddens me to see my country go to sh*t, but Kyrgyz tribal mentality is to blame for this degradation. No more, no less.
But why does Kenya have to focus on taking rights away from gays? Why is Kenya wasting time oppressing a marginalized group?

Whether you like it or not, LGBTQ+ people have a right to live and not be prosecuted for their sexual orientation. It doesn't affect anyone negatively. Any government that unwelcomes it and wants to punish them is the definition of an authoritarian. Also, religion belongs out of politics.

CNN has done more damage to themselves than to Kenya's president with this interview
No shit😂 idiots
Amanpour sucks. She is always biased. She should do something else for a living.
Let her try that interview in Iran, her country of birth and tell the Ayatollah that he will get himself in trouble and come back and tell us her experience. She can say that nonsense because it is an African President.
Nike Nneji she wouldn’t come back
No she didn't. The president is in the wrong.
“After I finish my process I can talk about my personal opinion. But as the leader of the people of the Republic of Kenya, I represent that which our people are desirous to be and I have no choice but that is my position.”
I love this!
When she asked about LGBT Kenyans being abused I don’t think she liked it when he said he doesn’t want any Kenyans abused. He didn’t refer to them as members of the lgbt community, just as Kenyan citizens.
“Holdover from the colonial era”. No it isn’t. A general aversion to homosexuality is universal across human cultures. The pressure to make it culturally acceptable is unwanted progressive, western influence. The interviewer is engaging in colonialism, as she would put it.
its fucking not mate coming from a straight dude its not mate take the bloody romans, greeks, the chinese, they all loved their twinks mate. gayness and shit like that was normalised and acceptable back then, it was the rise of christianity and in particular the papacy that made it wrong for hundreds of years, we're just now returning to that
@@Fat_JesusefCarthage, Numidia, Arabia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Japan, Africa and the pre-Columbian American civilizations did not practice this filth, the world doesn't revolve around Rome and Greece. And Christianity is not the only religion that makes it illegal, it's also prohibited in Islam and Judaism
That is not at all true, many many examples don't want to make you appear a fool but the Greeks and Romans for example where hetero or homo sex was not how they perceived it only as the "dominant" "penetrator" and the one "submissive" regardless of male or female, however, it must be noted that the Greek homosexual relations were potentially and possibly likely pedophilic in nature with Spartans taking young men and minors as their sexual partners.
The Roman concepts are similar but it must be noted some historical accounts claim homosexuality was frowned upon in a general sense, but sources vary. Many Native American cultures also had a similar concept in the "Two spirits" Belief. As far as colonialism, many countries other than the United Kingdom and British-controlled colonies had abolished laws making sodomy a crime, and the death penalty. After the Revolutionary War, it was abolished in the early United States as well starting in Pennsylvania I believe. At best nobody had care to give in the early "colonial" United States, at worst it was "Tolerated" Widely by most.
It was not until the 19th century that it began being frowned upon and scrutinized again. Saying it is a holdover from the Colonial area could be seen as true from some sense I suppose as the British had a wide and broad law criminalizing Sodomy in all their states, colonies, and other lands and controlled assets. Also in an article I just read from centaur.reading.ac.uk, there are indications that British-controlled colonies that have become free states and the like do have a higher likelihood of criminalizing Sodemy.
This does not mean that they somehow have this relict power over these states it is just a statistic, nothing can really say whether or not these states are doing this because of their Colonial histories or not. I will say though, that I feel as though gay rights are not a priority in the least for any country really as long as they are not being prosecuted criminalized etc. As long as people don't care, I think it is fine as long as a hate-targeted attack or crime whether in law or morality wise against these people is properly dealt with to create deterrents for others. Actually, I take back what I said, I quite enjoyed making you look like a dumbass if not for your belief then for your ignorance.
EDIT: During the revolutionary war it was frowned upon by most to be homosexual and was technically still a crime punishable by death but it rarely came to that, George Washington exiled a soldier for being gay but Von Steuben one of his military assets who had a large sum of evidence for sodomy, he had no care of prosecuting, so it was likely if a man held great importance nobody had a care, there is also Alexander Hamilton and others to consider. Regardless it did not take long after the war for these things to become decriminalized and tolerated.
Right I hate this new approach to dealing with this issue suddenly even this is the white man's fault.
Nope this is popular throughout the world and even in the nations that never had colonialism.
colonialism mean separated biological males is forced to be part in a African culture when actually African culture is not African culture because the culture is a way to control and comes from leaders , leader mean you as a separated being and body you don't have personal decision

@Basten gay sex doesn't matter when you dont have food frend.
@Basten its simply not a thing of importance in their culture. I'm a bit baffled by people who die hard in favor of gay rights while paying no mind to other more important issues such as hunger and the keeping of the atomic family. For example, I'm sure adultery and domestic violence is a much more prevalent issue. Children need parents. The promotion of homosexuality is intrinsically anti parent because it is the opposite of matrimony for the purpose of having a family.
She was trying to ensnare him with her divisive agenda. He is a man of integrity and deeply cares about the humanity and goodwill of Kenya as a whole. His perspective seemed ignorant to her, but was actually quite wise and caring.

Really? I guess that you miss the point. Respect MY rights but I won't respect YOURS is NOT an option when you ask for help. Especially not when it's a SELF-MADE hell due to constantly getting dictators in power, to rob you blind.
Half a century on, blaming the ex-colonial empires for the CONTINUING degenerate way Africa is run, is NOT an option anymore. Ask CHINA to turn you into serfs with their crazy loan contracts if you care so much about being bigots yourselves.
Anyways. ANY money injected into economies where the rulers and their families and friends STEAL 75% of the revenues is NOT a good investment for the local populations.
But it's true that it's a global issue. Lgbt people are discriminated and violated until today in many places in the world.
@@BK-nx7rc I never said it wasn't an issue in some places in the world. But compared to the other problems Africa and it's countries are currently facing it isn't top priority. There are wars, disease and poverty throughout the continent and foreign news outlets are more concerned with what their thoughts on the LGBT are.
@@BK-nx7rc we don't care can you western people leave us alone, we do not want those LGBT people and nothing is going to change, if you care so much come and take them to America and let them do whatever they wants, here they should abide to the rules, which is we do not want to see them kissing or do any act of intimacy in the street, while our children see such disgusting behaviour that can be lethal for them in the future.
You seem to lack the bare minimum of interpretation. Stating that discrimination against LGBT people is a global issue doesn’t eliminate the urge to deal with many other global issues worldwide.

It's an American issue not Kenya.
That is a pretty impressive response isn't it
Coming from a third-world country, there were some things that were much higher priority than people's sexual orientation, like food, security, education. I understand where this president is coming from, but the west, seems to think it can impose its beliefs on everyone. Some people are just trying to survive, and these issues are the least of their concerns.
Kenya law calls to imprison gays for up to 14 years. That is not "culture" or "moral belief". It is human rights violation. It is a falsehood to suggest that simply abolishing such a law would somehow interfere with solving other problems of food or security.
@@tom-kz9pb ^^^^^ You said it great.
To the original comment: There will always be things of higher priority, like food, security, education, etc.
However such is quite irrelevant, to say that "lesser" problems can't also be tackled simultaneously would be laughable and would show a weakness. The reality is that very unfortunate "bigger" issues are being used as a pathetic excuse as to why "smaller" issues cannot be dealt with. Remove the "bigger" issues, and a new excuse would be found with ease.
Gay rights literally means just to be left alone
@@chandelier6811 right??? Criminalizing homosexuality takes more resources away than just leaving them alone. They don't prioritize it bc it doesn't harm them, but if it were THEIR lives at stake they'd care.

If gay rights or rights regarding sexual preference has "no major importance" as this guy emphatically claims, then why did he/they (legislature in Kenya) make a law making it illegal to be gay?
because groomers deserved it.
@@stopcensoring.7959 You did not answer the question, you just used "name calling" which could apply to anyone, regardless of alleged sexuality. Sexuality of any kind does not in of itself cause "grooming", only a person with bad intentions is a "groomer". Straights and gays are no better and no worse than the other. Sexuality of any kind does not determine character whatsoever and does not make you a better or worse person whatsoever.
It was illegal far before he came into power possibly.
I live in nigeria where it's illigal to be gay, but I know gay people here also.
What normally happens is that you have two crowds.
The very religious who are very against homosexuality and the not so religious or unreligous who don't have issue.
But Nigeria itself and many other African countries have far more important issues than this to deal with.
Being imprisoned for being gay is such a rarity that you're more likely to be imprisoned or beaten for critising whoever is in power at the moment.
There is abject poverty here for many and if you go to the north there are literal guilds based who maim people to be beggers .
We have far more issues present than a group who is small in size and rarely gets imprisoned for what they do.
@@WeAreTheDraiken Your reply is oversimplified. A person does not need to be imprisoned for their sexuality, in order for such an unconscionable law to have negative effects on the minority in question. If a gov. goes out of its way to criminalize homosexuality with a law no less, it has far reaching negative, discriminatory effects, and one does not need to be "imprisoned" in a jail cell to feel its wrath.
Imagine a world or universe where homosexualilty wasn't a thing.
What a world👌

@Spoop Can I agree that gay people are citizens and should be treated like citizens
Unfortunately in Kenya gay mean face 14 years in prison and lesbian women often face corrective rape to fix them, they are not allowed to marry or adopt and that's not even mentioning trans people
Besides it's not like repealing this would make people starve? They supreme court in Kenya has seen court cases designed to change the law and rejected doing so
If Kenya just didn't protect gay people then that's one thing, but it deliberately goes out of its way to prosecute them
Gay rights aren't about getting special rights for gay people they are ensuring they have the same rights as everyone else
Why is ensuring everyone has the same rights an eliteist idea?
The interviewer thinks too much of herself. This is a president she is talking to.
She definitely doesn't think so, does she?
A president of a country (and what a country!) that doesn't show respect to basic human rights does not deserve any kind of respect.
Rafael Chaves Fonseca Dont force ur values on others who are very different of you !
louloudemon demon values shouldn’t be forced, but human rights are absolutely essential. However, I do think Kenya has more important problems than lgbt rights, even though there definitely is homophobia in their culture
Joe Heller Humans rights are ridiculous their use to legetimise colonialism by the West !
She said "you must respect LGBT people"
He said "we protect all people by law"
She disagreed.
The level of Western arrogance, to push their extreme sexual politics upon conservatife coutries is astonishing.
And she's not even Western, she's Iranian. No matter how much she tries to please her masters, she won't ever be considered white
In Kenya, anyone can be who they want to be.We just don’t want this to be a topic of discussion.After all, private parts and whoever you sleep with should be kept private. Nobody cares about anyone‘s sexual orientation when there is poverty and corruption to be dealt with in the country.

@@francisconeto140 Why are you gae 😆
Not true. He's hiding behind "the will of the people", saying that his personal beliefs on homosexuality are irrelevant and cannot be stated until after he is president. He doesn't want to claim the anti-homosexuality stance as his personal belief, because he knows how horrid and offensive that would make him sound. So he chooses to obfuscate. He said that what he believes doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is that (in his belief) 99% of kenyans agree with the laws as they are, and that he is required to abide by that consensus. I would imagine that if he asked LGBT community members of his country, he might find some disagreement.
These are human rights violations. Lesbians are raped and gay men are imprisoned 14 years. Look it up. It’s all bs
Speaking freely is not synonymous with having anything useful to say. What he's saying is full of BS for anyone who doesn't think exactly like him, or want to believe he's telling the full truth. You are being swayed by the most basic semantic trickery

I live here in North America and they’re pushing the gay agenda in everything, even in elementary schools! Half the TV shows have heavy gay content and they’ve made it socially unacceptable to even say you don’t accept homosexuality. You don’t even have to threaten gay people to be labelled “homophobic”, all you have to say is “I don’t support homosexuals and their lifestyles” and its nearly considered a hate crime.
@@supr4rce That's messed up. Why are people being forced to accept something we don't like. Gay people want us straight people to accept their lifestyle and ideology. Why can't they accept our ( straight ) people's ideology.

And you're right, Saudi Arabia and America should not have trade deals. It is a cruel and backwards country that is engaging in genocide. But the government does not listen to the people anymore.

@@parkerdinhwilliams15 whether it is "what-aboutism" or not. Isn't it correct? See it's annoying when people like you will want to use irrelevant points to steer a convo in another direction. Why is it Americans want to try to meddle heavily in African ways of life but are silent to places like Saudi Arabia. This Kenyan president is saying. It is not of importance to him at the moment when speaking about the betterment of his people right now.
Was I silent? No. We are not silent. The average American cares alot less about Kenya than Saudi Arabia. Why? Because Saudi Arabia is currently committing genocide and have the worst human rights track record of any rich country in the world. The American government no longer listens to the people, so do not assume that our government represents the values of the average person here.
But here we have the Kenyan President sitting down with an interviewer, and gay rights is something to think about when it is still illegal for them to even "exist". Whether or not YOU, a heterosexual, cares about it, is irrevelant to the debate of whether someone should be recognized as a real person because you don't need to worry about it in your day to day life. I understand that there are huge economic and health issues in Kenya, but imagine adding on top of all those issues being imprisoned because you exist...? Gay people have it fking rough, more so than straight people.

Am Kenyan, and am here to support our former president (even the current president has the same stand).
The issue of homosexuality is at the very bottom of the list of the things we care about, actually it's not even on the list.
We just don't care about this issue, we have a number of Kenyan celebrities who have publicly come out as gay, but nothing has happened to them. No one cares about their sexual lives.
But, when they start promoting it on media and other spaces, that's where we draw a very thick line.
I see dirty black people on the media snd my nephews have to see that nasty shit
That doesn't actually work because kenya can arrest people just for being gay, not for taking about it. But just being gay is illegal. So that whole we don't care thing doesn't work. Maybe you don't care. Maybe the law doesn't care. Then why does it exist? Who cares enough to keep it alive?
