The White House has dismissed calls by Kenyan religious and political leaders for US president Barack Obama to avoid discussing homosexuality during his visit to the country
“Gay rights are human rights whether we are in Washington, or
somewhere in Asia or Africa…this is not something we shy away from
underscoring. This is not a topic that we reserve for certain parts of
the world and not others,’ US National Security Adviser Susan Rice said.
Giving further details of the trip, Rice said Obama will meet
members of his family privately in his tour to the country tomorrow but
will not travel to his father’s ancestral home in K’ogelo.
At the White House press briefing yesterday, Rice confirmed that Obama
will have a private moment with some of his extended family members who
are still living in Kenya.
