I can't really be sure. But I am of the inclination that the world is conspiring for some unknown reason so far. In my past single week of being on campus, I can almost swear that there has been a very sharp increase on debate regarding the gay community both in Kenya and globally mind you that 96% of the people I interact with so far are heterosexual. Though most of the arguments are tropicalized (made to suit our Kenyan situation). I realize that there is a gradual increase in the interest on the subject of homosexuality amongst our future leaders (am not so sure about the leaders part).
Obviously the discussions have been more inclined towards the argument against supporting homosexuality and accepting homosexuals in our society. Though this is a chance for the trolls to spread their vitriol, I have come to see this as a disguised blessing (stay with me on this one). The thing is, as these arguments continue to be on their minds and lips, they will be forced to research their facts and maybe, just maybe they may be able to realize the fallacies that they have for most of their young adult lives idolized as truths and get to see this situation in proper context. The main thing that made me find this weird coincidence worth writing about is the fact that many are getting to stop seeing this as a religious issue and are getting to see it in the proper social context that should be their basis of argument. Though the bible argument is far from over, I hope reason prevails. Just call me optimistic or delirious but I see hope...
Welcome into the private life and musings of a young man going through this beautiful life. Oh, wait, I forgot to mention am gay though it ain't coz am not proud. It is because it shouldn't matter... Let's get on with it then. Shall we?

Merry Christmas
It's been a while and am now on holiday and just stopped to use this mall's wifi network to wish y'all a merry christmas and season's greetings to all of you as we all celebrate this season. Though my discovery phase has made leaps and bounds am still elated that such a mainstream singer as Katy Perry advocates for acceptance of gays in her new touching video of Fireworks. Though some vitriol is included in the comments on the video, after skimming through the comments, most people seemed to think homophobia belongs to unevolved (is there such a word?) species, enjoy, it almost made me cry. :'-) FOLLOW THIS LINK.
Merry Christmas!!
