		<content type="html"><![CDATA[	We continue to publish content setting the tone on the discussion on the rights of Kenya's gay community.<br />
<br />
Today&nbsp;Stephanie Migot <a href="http://www.kenyaimagine.com/Social-Issues/Homosexuality-and-the-Myth-of-Choice.html">shows why arguments</a> that homosexuals do not deserve equal rights as do heterosexuals are both misguided and wrong.<br />
<blockquote><p>Homosexuality is no more a lifestyle choice than being born with straight or curly hair. People do not wake up one day and decide that they want to be a member of a threatened and oppressed minority. While scientific research continues its search for a definitive “gay gene,” at present the only potentially reliable indicator is&nbsp;<a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/OBGYN/Pregnancy/3641" title="Gay from the womb if biological older brothers matter">the number of older brothers a male child has</a>&nbsp;. LGBTQ people are born, not made or “converted.” Despite the attempts of a number of misguided anti-homosexual groups in the USA, there is&nbsp;<a href="http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/pressparliament/pressreleases2009/statement.aspx" title="Statement from the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Gay and Lesbian Mental Health Special Interest Group">no scientific evidence that sexual orientation can be changed</a>.<br />
</p></blockquote><br />

Many have risen to <a href="http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/blog/59687">denounce </a>and oppose it, both within the country and from across the globe.  Many others have risen to support it. Some in the Church have argued in favor of the capital punishment in the Bill, others have argued for <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/artman/publish/news/Clergy_Jail_gays_don_t_hang_them_93749.shtml">life imprisonment</a>. The ones arguing for life imprisonment are actually considered to be in opposition to the Bill. After all, in Uganda “<a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/artman/publish/opinions/Why_anti-gay_Bill_should_worry_us_93987.shtml">homosexuality is already an offence</a> under the Penal Code of Uganda as is same-sex marriage, which is prohibited by the Constitution.”</p><p>Dan Moshenberg <a href="http://www.kenyaimagine.com/International-Affairs/Uganda-is-under-attack.html">shows why Uganda</a> is NOT under attack.</p><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37227775-4721554779177382449?l=kenyaimagine.blogspot.com' alt='' /><img alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KenyaImagine/~4/B_gvXdSzhOE" /> ]]></content>
