From Kenya-Some Kenyans are threatening to meet President Obama with scorn — and rotten eggs — during his visit to their country next month.
“I will mobilize and lead every member of the council, including women and the youth, and Kenyans in general to throw rotten eggs at Obama if he dares introduce the gay and lesbian debate,” a member of the head of a council of elders said on Monday.
Many, including the country’s Deputy President William Ruto, have issued similarly harsh missives to Obama, who will make his first visit to Kenya as president on July 25.
“The Republic of Kenya is a republic that worships God,” Ruto told a Nairobi church congregation in Swahili, according to a video posted online by the Kenyan broadcaster KTN. “We have no room for gays and those others.”
Like more than half of all countries in Africa, homosexuality is criminalized in Kenya.

Lesbians say, it's because of "very beautiful, amazing and lovely women" that we ARE gay!
