NAIROBI, Kenya June 30 – The British High Commission in Kenya hoisted the LGBTQ+ flag Thursday, sparking uproar on social media.
“We’re proudly flying the rainbow flag at the British High Commission to mark Pride Month. In the UK, we know that when everyone is free to thrive and be themselves, we all benefit. Everyone should be free to love who they love,” the High Commission tweeted touching off fires on Twitter, Facebook and other social sites.
The flag was hoisted to mark the Pride Month which celebrates LGBTQ+ communities in commemoration of the month when Stonewall riots took place in New York in 1969.
This is what is considered to have been a turning point for gay rights for many Americans and others elsewhere in the world.
Below are some of the comments by Kenyans on Twitter (KoT).
You should stick to what your country sent you to do instead of these silly sideshows
