@Afripot
At least we agree on that front. I don’t think he was right in any way. He was cloaking his homophobia in religion and using the product to shame women. It’s a power game. Kick the dog because it won’t kick you back kinda thing.

@ Dorcas, Hardly. The strength of a woman to accept her own right to contribute to societies economic and social development, while juggling her own needs, physical, emotional and psychological, that has inspired more men to look at their own selves with honesty and to accept themselves even more, be that be sexual, physical or emotional.

Mothers, sisters, friends, that is the power we have.

MY TAKE ON THE GAY SOCIETY- BLAME IT ON THE WOMAN
When I read the homily, I chuckled at the double entendre that his message brought to light. The first message, the battle of the sexes has been well covered. I prefer to use the path not taken.

In his patronizing diatribe he failed to address the main issue of homosexuality. Gay issues are no longer spoken in whispers but there are faces to it.
Africans can’t claim that this vice is un-African. A writer once wrote that:

‘Every man carries the dry seed of bestiality within him. Each one of us, however splendid our virtues, dreams once of being a splendid bastard, a sniggering swine, an outrageous ruin of time. It is an ancient memory of our race, cherished by all men, nourished by few.’

One of the poorly kept secrets of the Buganda Kingdom was that Kabaka Mwanga was a homosexual. This is the Kabaka who supervised the martyrdom of Buganda during his reign.
This is just an isolated case but my point is that homosexuality is not only a western issue but also an African problem. The malignancy is further accentuated when the same gender couples are given a legal document recognizing them as man and man, wife and wife.

Such an illicit union, which I dare not call a marriage cannot be explained away or diminished as a foible, thus it has perverted and vitiated the whole concept of marriage as was instituted by God in the Garden of Eden.
The only plausible explanation to this grim evil that gay is, we are living at the apocalyptic age and it is only God who can save us from ourselves.
There was a time God made provision some immediate amelioration of earth’s growing apostasy and perversity by razing down Sodom and Gomorrah as a monument of humanity eccentric, these ruins are a grim warning and reminder that indelibly was impressed upon humanity as a wrath of God.

To the gay society (both in Diaspora and at home), victims of their own indiscretion and of the intrigue and artifice of a designing libertine that the devil is, upon reflection and steady mind, I need not inculcate the lessons which may be drawn from the woe fraught tale of Sodom and Gomorrah.

I wish it engraved upon every heart, that salvation, the acceptance of Christ Jesus, will secure lasting felicity from this venial sin. We can all take this step of faith by first dropping the gay lifestyle, then repenting all our other sins. Wish you all God’s Blessings.

The emancipation of women, their ability to function as equals to men, has in a way made it possible for both themselves and the men around them to accept the reality of their sexuality.

Does that mean women have to be lesser to men in order to be more desirable (hetero)sexually?

I think the father was right in one way. The emancipation of women, their ability to function as equals to men, has in a way made it possible for both themselves and the men around them to accept the reality of their sexuality. Further than that, I agree with you, if a woman had done all the ‘right’ things for either Chege or Ngengi, it would not have narry changed the core sexuality of the man.
