Kenyan court upholds laws criminalizing same-sex relations

Kenya's High Court on Friday upheld sections of the penal code that criminalize same-sex relations, a disappointment for gay rights activists across Africa where dozens of countries have similar laws.

One law punishes"carnal knowledge against the order of nature" and prescribes up to 14 years in prison for people convicted of homosexual acts. Another says"indecent practices between males" can bring up to five years in prison. "Acknowledging cohabitation among people of the same sex, where they would ostensibly be able to have same-sex intercourse, would indirectly open the door for of people of the same sex," said the judgment read in part by Justice Roselyn Aburili."These old colonial laws lead to the LGBT community suffering violence, blackmail, harassment and torture.
