        Its not about if we sinned today, its about identifying sin. And for your info heaven is for sinners who have been forgiven...

        One would think with all the challenges facing Africa as a continent we'd have the good sense to recognise & cheer a collective win when we see one! How about we celebrate one of our own breaking the proverbial glass ceiling at Cannes? Crazy idea huh?

        Why should they be applauded because they broke through the white man's home? Is the whiteman's preference now the measurement of success?

        Only this has nothing to do with the white man does it? This is abt an African woman with the gall to take art where few in this continent even dare. The 'white man's preference' you speak of is an entire demographic living & thriving HERE in Africa! You nay not agree with said..

        ...demographic and their lifestyles and that's your right. But letting prejudice keep you from celebrating a milestone reached by one if our very own because you disagree with the subject matter is a choice, and a sad one at that.

        I know two Kenyan lesbian immigrants here in the US who are excited to see it. I had the pleasure of telling them it existed and seeing their faces light up at the idea. I think there are probably a lot of LGBTQ Kenyans in their diaspora who will be glad.

        Made by Kenyans doesn't qualify "made for Kenyans." People can do whatever they want with their lives but to claim they do that for the nation is a fallacy.

        It was made by Kenyans but not for Kenyans, Homosexuality isn't part of our culture as a Nation.
