Kenyan Politician Just Made A MAJOR Threat To Obama Ahead Of His Big Visit

President Barack Obama may not be received with open arms by leaders in his ancestral homeland of Kenya during his planned visit later this month–if he starts preaching the gospel of homosexual acceptance.
CNS News reports that Irungu Kangata, a lawmaker in Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta’s The National Alliance (TNA) party, said: “We are telling Mr. Obama when he comes to Kenya this month and he tries to bring the abortion agenda, the gay agenda, we shall tell him to shut up and go home.”
Kangata, according to The Standard of Nairobi, said Kenyans would protest against Obama over the gay agenda issue while he visited their country.

Additionally Deputy President William Ruto said homosexuality was “against the plan of God,” while speaking at a church in Nairobi last Sunday. “God did not create man and woman so that men would marry men and women marry women,” he was quoted as saying by The Daily Nation.

“No amount of persuasions, theories or philosophy will make us change our position. We believe in God, this is a God fearing nation and will continue to be so,” he added.
Reuters reports that Ruto’s spokesman, Emmanuel Talam, confirmed the remarks, adding: “The government believes that homosexual relations are unnatural and unAfrican.”
Rose Mitaru, one of 47 female lawmakers in Kenya, said that allowing same-sex marriage in her country would open “floodgates of evil synonymous with the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah.”
The practice of homosexuality is illegal in Kenya and has been since the nation’s founding in 1963. According to a Pew Research poll, 90 percent of Kenyans believe homosexuality is wrong. This number is consistent with most African nations’ views on the issue, according to the poll.

It is not just political leaders who have come out strongly against normalizing homosexuality in Kenya, according to Breitbart. Justin Muturi, the speaker of the National Assembly, said to an Anglican Church congregation: “Liberal thoughts are being entertained in some countries under the guise of human rights.” He added: “We must be vigilant and guard against it. We must lead an upright society and not allow obnoxious behavior as we have a responsibility to protect our children.”
Numerous Episcopal congregations in the United States decided to leave the denomination over the last several years and form the Anglican Church in North America, after the Episcopal Church rejected Biblical teaching on marriage and homosexuality. When the move first began in the last decade, many congregations initially put themselves under the authority of bishops in Africa and South America, who hold to the traditional view of marriage and sexuality.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said on Monday that President Obama would not avoid the topic of the gay agenda during his visit: “I’m confident the president will not hesitate to make clear that the protection of basic universal human rights in Kenya is also a priority and consistent with the values that we hold dear here in the United States of America.”
TNA lawmaker Jamleck Kamau would clearly like to dissuade the president from taking that tack. “Anybody who tries to come and preach to this country that they should allow homosexuality, I think he’s totally lost,” he said.
“And I would also like to add, our son from the U.S., Barack Obama, when he comes here, to simply avoid that topic completely,” added Kamau, “because Kenyans will not be happy with him if he comes to bring the issue of homosexuality in this country.”
