Same-sex relations have been banned since the British colonized Kenya in the late 19th century. Kenya's penal code criminalizes"carnal knowledge against the order of nature." Anyone found engaging in same-sex relationships could face up to 14 years in prison.In declining to decriminalize same-sex relations, the Kenya High Court said there was not enough evidence of discrimination against the LGBTQI community and therefore it upheld the ban.
While Kenya is still largely a deeply conservative and religious society, its courts has shown some independence in recent years regarding LGBTQI matters.Opinion: Nigeria is a cold-blooded country for gay men -- I have the scars to prove itLast year, an appeals court in Mombasa ruled that forced anal exams on people who are suspected of same-sex activity are unconstitutional,following the arrest and forced anal exams of two men in 2015. The decision reversed a 2016 court ruling.

Highest court? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
John and Elizabeth. Not John and Jerry. ☝️❤Kenya
Let them appeal and the ruling will be the same.We shall overcome and ashame the 😈 😈
Colonial era? Let it be,we have more serious issues to deal with other than that.All the basic origin of all laws is Bible,does it allow ?
And who is gonna monitor this ? The Butt Police
Gayism is a western culture. Just remain with it there.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss
FakeNewsCNN please the high court is not the highest court in Kenya....I now believe more than ever that you guys are just political hacks...You never correctly report news...always running away with headlines and painting people /entities very wrongly. RealCandaceO MarkDice
Either you mistyped high for highest because High Court is not Kenya's apex court
if you see LGBT Is good marry yourselves there here in Kenya we can't entertain crooked laws to justify mediocrity. LGBT has no space in Kenya and the great Africa!
If you put it that way, this is one 'colonial-era law' we keeping for good.
It's good for every nation to mind their own business. If we reject Gay Sex its our choice, now let's everyone reflect on their Country's issues. BTW am Kenyan.
Thats very good.values should be reserved
Must you insert colonial Era law. In short Kenya is not yet independent
Colonial era...they’re gone now, and they don’t ban gay sex anymore. 🤷🏻♀️
Somebody got it right.
That’s just like Alabama
As usual another ridiculous caption to your false reporting. Kenya’s constitution was promalgated in 2010. That is the basis of the ruling. Leave sovereign states to pass their own laws. Your self serving alternative facts is the very definition of ‘colonial’ !
the way this usually goes - the next big story will be able the people who voted for this getting caught having gay sex. it's always the biggest voices against it that end up being gay themselves and just can't deal with it mentally, so they lash out in frustration.
Am standing with the Kenyan High court
For those who are against the law go back to your Bible it clearly states God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve please we already on God's shitlist and we don't want to make things worse by promoting things he clearly stated his against
The colonialists just realised they made a grave mistake in 1965? Looks like they can't turn back time now.
So much bs in this headline. CNN fail.
Monnarri CNN trying to bring shaming rhetoric . The petitioners need to show how they were discriminated against. Calling the law a colonial era law is not proof of discrimination
This should come to America ..
Good!
No space for gays, no one is born gay
...its is the high court, not the highest court...the highest court is the supreme court
thecommathe Amazing how africa clings to colonialism when it suites the agenda
Call it colonial or whatsoever but the fact is, it is inhuman, immoral, and a do vil worship, if our ancestors did what you CNN are advocating, you couldn't exist anyway...ilovekenya
Well, I guess Stetler and Lemon will have to find another place to move to when Trump wins in 2020 .🤣
Its not the highest court. Appeal and Supreme Courts are higher.... nwys you colonised us n we choose to remain in that era
Are you admitting that the colonial era was full of bullshits with the sole aim of robbing and raping Africans? The laws were barbaric and was used to govern? The only way to stop using this law is only when those that created it will apologise and admit it was inhuman.
Please hear this and let it sink in your heart. God doesn't hate sinners, but he hates sin in them. He desires that everyone my know him. I don't hate gays or Lesbians either, I'm only saying their believe is against God's belief.
Kenyans WILL NEVER LEGITIMIZE OR DOMESTICATE Foreign cultures that are both IMMORAL AND REPUGNANT. We have NO APOLOGIES.
I too Oppose the introduction of gay marriage into the Kenya by opinion. That it's against our established values and norms .why not grant all Kenyan gay persons free passage and residential permit into Europe and America ,if you care so much for their welfare add Human Rights
2 Corinthians:5.21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. I'm therefore righteous on His account. Hallelujah His grace teaches me to say No to every form of ungodliness including homosexuality, hatred, unbelief etc
It's not colonial era law but our African morals do not allow such evil acts that u propagate and try to force down our throats.
We have more pertinent issues than this... LGBT community can relocate to Taiwan for all we care
Well it’s their country who are we to judge
Kudos to Kenyan Judicial system. CNN calls it colonial-era law..that's laughable. We refuse to legalize and glamorize sin!
👏🏾
It's not the highest court in Kenya. 😏
Huh....standards....nice😀
Tell me again how bigoted Republicans and Christians are.
So they love the bad parts of British colonialism then?

Good for them -question is why Adam and Eve was created - to reproduce - why we have male/female of animals/birds/even plants - to reproduce - if gay was create adam/adam 2 or Eve/Eve 2 either way they would die and that be end of human-
Hard to come down one side or the other on gay sex (having never practiced it), I don’t get govt involvement in how anyone achieves an orgasm. As for god as the reason to ban it, I’ve always wondered how god knows one is gay unless you admit that god watches gay porn.
How come the leftist libs dont protest against things like this around the world. Instead they attack Trump for securing borders and keeping illegals out which he has a right to do
Now they are going to blame this on colonialism? They left a century ago.
In the meantime they can slaughter each other in the blink of the eye with tribal warfare
Its not the highest Court that is the High Court the Supreme Court is the highest coming second is the Court Of Apeal then the High Court Stop misresporting!!...fake news Cnn....
👍🏽 keep it as a Law even if it was from that era.
Oh look the country that just legalized gay marriage like 5 years ago is suddenly the world's most critical eye on the subject.
We all know you are not happy but that is the ruling. You can market it elsewhere... Mwaigua kiwaru!
Is this supposed to be shocking news?
Now imagine if those colonial masters never come to Kenya that law wouldn't be there
A whole CNN journalist who thinks a High Court means the highest court in Kenya... And had to call it colonial-era law to pass their stupid message. An embarrassment to the name CNN.
Yes, and we are happy with the colonial era law. We don't want madness in our country.
Bho homeland?
And every gay person wanted to go there.
Bravo!
Homosexuality is a sexual disorder.
High Court is not our highest court. Is it so hard to get information on African countries right?
So
It's not colonial law, it's out culture. Our culture is totally against that dirt
The highest court in Kenya is the Supreme Court. This decision was made by High Court and it can be challenged at the Supreme Court. Good ruling though!
Colonial-era Whatever term you wanna use, you can take those gays and lesbians and accommodate them.
Man to man is against our African culture,I'm against that!
Good manners are not associated with the progress of the countries. A brave decision a lot of countries can not issue. God save the world from the descendants of ' LOT'S PEOPLE '
'colonial-era law' my foot! So proud of that ruling.
Yes and there is no debate about it. Even the animals know how it is meant to be by God Himself
