Gay ism and acceptance into the society especially in Africa has dominated the media waves for sometimes. Countries such as Nigeria,Zimbabwe and latest Uganda have defied threats from the big boys and assigned laws criminalizing homosexuality. While under the Kenyan laws,homosexuality is a crime however the nuts have been a bit loosened and many gays in the region finds Kenya as a safe harbor.
Media has played its part in highlighting the issue and given a wider platform to discuss,according to a recent research by GFT which was conducted across 152 countries worldwide to find out the acceptance of gay ism,Kenya scored 90% to mean that percentage of Kenyans are anti-gay ism. With the hostile intolerant environment,many gays and lesbians have been doing their business behind doors away from the watchful eyes of the heterosexuals. Certain night clubs across the country especially Nairobi have been marked as Gays club and they are known,gays sex orgies are not a new thing in town. They tend to do their own stuff away from the rest.
Number of gays in the past few years in Kenya has been on a steady rise with different research findings suggesting that 2 in every 10 men are gay. While some like writer Binyavanga have kicked the shell and come out,many homosexuals are deep in the closet. During the last general elections in Kenya in the presidential candidates debate,Uhuru Kenyatta made anti-gays sentiments that sparked hate statements from the community,Denis Nzioka a gay activist,threatened Mr.Kenyatta to apologize to the homosexual community on Kenya or forget about over one million votes,a simple statement that tells the concentration of homosexuals in the country.
While things are "shitty" for homosexuals in the neighboring Uganda,their Kenyan counterparts have been up to some holy moves. Nairobi Exposed has exclusively learn through a reliable source an insider in the Nairobi Gays sphere of an only homosexuals church which was opened in November last year and has remained unknown to the public. Nairobi Exposed has since established of the Church's existence at a home in Kitisuru estate in the leafy suburbs of Nairobi. The church has now been fully operational for four months and conducting their services from inside the home. NE has also established that the house being uses as homosexuals church belongs to a Scottish gay couple only identified as Mugwas by the source,we learn its a coded name.
"Gays have been isolated and taken as ungodly,truth of the matter is we are like any other human beings and we believe in God,why is it so hard for people to accept that. A gay person cannot go into any normal church without being given that 'the f*ck' look. There was a need to have a place of our own where you can walk in and worship your God with ease and freedom" Says Cyrus Mweek*name changed* in an exclusive interview with Nairobi Exposed.
The Church as NE finds out has concentrated more with the elite gays class in Nairobi and is an only invite since they don't want anyone blowing up their cover. The interview conducted by NE and the official was done under strict rules that can not be broken. Initially,the idea of the church in Nairobi was ignited by a Ugandan gay philanthropist only named to us as Velin,a strong Christian and Anglican priest who was suspended following molestation allegations on young boys. "He never wanted to stop serving God but still couldn't stop being gay. He has a Kenyan boyfriend who is a manager at a department in KENGEN,so in one of the many gays get together in Karen sometime in June last year,he made the proposal,luckily Mugwas(the Scottish gay couple,housing the church) liked the idea and that's how it started" reveals the official to NE.

The church which is operating illegal since it has not been registered calls itself the Rainbow Of God Church. The rules are made to suit the homosexuals lifestyle. The dressing code is liberal and open,one is allowed to dress just the way they like,"i can put on my hot pants,have my makeup well done and my lips well oiled,its a total freedom and still can get to be close to my God" says Mweek*
The list of attendance ranges from who is who in the elite class in the city,"here there's no worries of getting exposed by anybody,it is the safest plays for homosexuals to be together and also to find a God fearing partner,lawyers,engineers,media personalities name them all who are gays and lesbians are active members" continues Mweek*
The service is conducted by alternating spiritual leaders whom we learn two are pastors,one from a church in Thika and the other a pastor from Naivasha. The church receives huge funding from a Norwegian rich gay couple to sustain its operations. Apart from gay dressing code at the church,members are allowed to hug and kiss during the service as a greeting sign,"research has shown that kissing is more hygienically safe than shaking hands so we encourage hugs and kisses in replacement as our goal is to be clean before God" he continues to say.
Everything else apart from using rainbow multi colored sheets which is an international homosexuals color of identity,the church service and its teachings are just as in other churches. The back doesn't stop at that as plans to expand the church are currently underway,"we intend to expand our wings nationally,many organizations liberal to homosexuals have shown interest in aiding our expansion. Currently only selected homosexuals in Nairobi are aware and attending,we intend to spread our rich and move from this home to a bigger place after fully registering the church,have a place where all homosexuals in Nairobi can stream in every Sunday and worship their lord as one of their rights to religion and association freedom. Boarding schools across the country are also our target since most of our young ones come from these institutions and there's need to nurture them spiritually,all this shall be done in secrecy as always since anything homosexual is illegal in Kenya. According to our strategy,we should be nationwide by July. Homosexuals are everywhere and we are so many,it is our intention to take over and be free to exercise our rights. The massive funding we are set for from our well off members locally and international will make the movement unstoppable" Mweek*s breaks it down in an onterview with Nairobi Exposed.
For popularization,the church has depended on the famous gay members in Nairobi and have steered off organizations like Gays and Lesbians Org in Kenya. Instead using social meetings to push their agenda. We are told one of the famous gay members in Nairobi,Joji Baro who is a confessed HIV+ gospel singer,has been approached and will cash in heavily as the worship leader in terms of songs. Binyavanga is out of the equation as he has publicly denounced God and believes in nothing. According to figures availed to Nairobi Exposed,the church so far has 125 members with about 83 active members. The number is expected to grown in triple digits when massive recruitment plan is played out
