@Alex 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.

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.

KFCB always makes roadside pronouncements that would not pass any legal threshold.
And quoting the Bible here is imposing your religion on others who believe in different deities.
Ebele, No, there is no State religion in Kenya, and our constitution recognises freedom of worship.
Article 32 of Kenyan Constitution:
32. FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE, RELIGION, BELIEF AND OPINION
(1) Every person has the right to freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief and opinion.
(2) Every person has the right, either individually or in community with others, in public or in private, to manifest any religion or belief through worship, practice, teaching or observance, including observance of a day of worship.
(3) A person may not be denied access to any institution, employment or facility, or the enjoyment of any right, because of the person's belief or religion.
(4) A person shall not be compelled to act, or engage in any act, that is contrary to the person's belief or religion.

Dear Alex,
I don’t know much about the movie but if it is about lesbianism then
it is
immoral and ungodly. God only approves a relation between a man and a woman
Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast
to his
wife, and they shall become one flesh.

I am not sure what the film is about in its entirety, but the main storyline is a lesbian romance in Nairobi. It is the first Kenyan
film to
be nominated for the Cannes film festival and will premiere there on
the
8th of May.
Here is the trailer for the film
