It pays to be pro-gay -- except in Kenya
Kenyans were reportedly “exuberant” over Obama’s visit -- except for the pro-LGBT remarks he made to appease the homosexual lobby.
From the Los Angeles Times:
Standing side by side with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, Obama called upon Kenya and other African governments to set an example by banning state discrimination of gays and lesbians….
Kenyatta, a staunch opponent of any change to his country’s harsh laws toward homosexuality, replied that gay rights was a ‘non-issue’ in his country and that his priorities lie elsewhere, with improving healthcare, education and entrepreneurship.
‘There are some things we must admit we don’t share, [that] our culture, our societies don’t accept,’ Kenyatta said. ‘It’s very difficult for us to be able to impose on people that which they themselves do not accept.’
Funny thing is, liberals are notorious for imposing their morality -- more precisely, immorality -- on the rest of society; and they do it while claiming that conservatives are doing the imposing. (Kinda’ like the abortion proponents calling pro-lifers “terrorists” when, in actuality, the abortion industry, especially Planned Parenthood, is killing in the womb.)
The libertine left preaches tolerance, diversity and equality; but we know their true colors, and they’re not the colors of the rainbow. The casualties of the left’s tolerance are increasing. It’s not a pretty sight.
As for Kenya, it’s unfortunate that Kenyatta legalized polygamy in 2014. (Source)
While it doesn’t pay to be pro-gay in Kenya, it sure does here in America, as Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, pointed out in his July 24 news release:
…It pays culturally and economically to promote the interests of gays, but not Catholics. From Wall Street to Wal-Mart, most non-gay organizations across the nation have jumped on the gay bandwagon. Not to do so is to be culturally shunned and individually stigmatized. There is no such penalty for not supporting Catholics, and indeed there is little downside to bashing them. Just ask HBO. It also pays economically: on average, gays earn more than straights, and many lavishly grease these non-gay but gay-friendly groups. Consider the Gawker controversy.
Gawker fired journalists who ran a story about a married man, Timothy Geithner’s brother (he is the CFO of Condé Nast) for allegedly soliciting sex from a male porn star. No one was fired for posting excerpts of a video showing Hulk Hogan having sex with a woman who was a friend of his wife (the wrestler is suing for $100 million). Gawker founder Nick Denton explained why he took down the story about Geithner: ‘If the post had remained up, we probably would have triggered advertising losses this week into seven figures.’
It pays to be pro-gay.
Alas, it does. But then -- wait for it -- who are we to judge?
