   A 30-year-old transgender woman described health workers   
   denouncing her as a “mental case.” Another woman, a lesbian,   
   said she abandoned her dream of running for office “because I   
   knew that I could never stand a chance.” Students recalled being   
   suspended or expelled from school but not before being outed in   
   front of their classmates.   
      
   These testimonies and others were featured in a recent project,   
   Voices of Kenya, which invited queer Kenyans to share how the   
   criminalization of same-sex sexual acts affected their lives.   
   Taken together, the audio stories reveal a common feature of   
   such laws: Their consequences extend well beyond whatever   
   criminal cases they generate. The behaviors they technically   
   ban—private acts of “sodomy” or “buggery” or the vaguer “crimes   
   against nature”—are difficult to police, but that is not   
   necessarily the point. The laws instill the message that sexual   
   minorities are second-class citizens, worthy of derision,   
   rejection, and sometimes violence.   
      
   For more than half a century, Britain, the world’s greatest   
   exporter of antigay legislation, has acknowledged this. In 1954,   
   British lawmakers convened a committee to review Section 11 of   
   the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885, which prohibited “gross   
   indecency.” The committee, named for its chairman, John   
   Wolfenden, concluded that Section 11 should be repealed and in   
   making its case stressed the law’s secondary effects: the   
   blackmail it fueled and the damage it caused to reputations,   
   particularly of gay men. In 1967, 10 years after the committee   
   published its report, the Sexual Offences Act decriminalized   
   same-sex sexual acts in England and Wales.   
      
   This breakthrough, however, came too late for Kenya and many   
   other former British colonies. Kenya attained independence in   
   1963, and its inherited version of Section 11 remains on the   
   books. Section 162 of the Kenyan penal code calls for prison   
   sentences of up to 14 years for “carnal knowledge of any person   
   against the order of nature,” and Section 165 calls for   
   sentences of up to five years for “indecent practices between   
   males.”

   Faggots were despised and condemned for over 2,000 years because   
   of their diseases, degenerate behavior and treachery.   
      
   What changed?   
      
   Availability and use of resistance / mind altering drugs and   
   faggots infiltrating the American Psychiatric Association - just   
   like they did the Catholic Church.   
      
   Basically Democrats.
