Kenya tells Google to Take Down Gay Video

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) has ordered Google to pull down a video that the agency says is inappropriate for promoting gay relationships.

According to Business Daily, Chief executive Ezekiel Mutua Tuesday had written to Google Kenya and other arms of law asking them to take action against creators and distributors of the music video titled Same Love (by Art Attack) whose lyrics, he says, advocate gay rights in Kenya.

Mr Mutua said the video, which was released last week, has graphic sexual scenes between people of the same gender as well as depiction of nudity and pornography. Homosexuality is illegal in Kenya.

"Kenya must not allow its people to become the Sodom and Gomorrah of the current age through psychological drive from such content. We have written to Google to remove the video from their platforms. We expect they will do it within one week from now to avoid further violation of the law," he said.
