Lesbians Travel World: Risky work in Kenya w/ David Kuria, Rev Kimindu and Makokha, GALCK

Throughout our month in Kenya, Jenni and I ask ourselves, "Would we continue our activism if we received death threats?" Almost everyone we interviewed in Kenya have had their physical safety threatened at one time or another, and yet they all choose to continue their work. We talk to David Kuria, Kenya's first openly gay candidate running for Senate, Reverend Kimindu, a retired military chaplain who advocates for the inclusion of LGBT people in the church, and several leaders at GALCK, the Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya. In July, Jenni and Lisa are traveling for a year across Asia, Africa and South America in search of the queers. Out and Around (www.OutandAround.com) is a collection of our conversations with gay people around the world who are creating change for the LGBT (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community. By telling the stories of these Supergays, Out and Around hopes to inspire the gay community, decrease homophobia, and raise awareness on gay issues in the developing world.
