Obama lectures Kenyan president on gay rights

President Barack Obama on Saturday lectured Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta about his country's gay rights record.

"When you start treating people differently not because of any harm they are doing to anybody, but because they are different, that's the path whereby freedoms begin to erode," Obama said at a joint press conference with the Kenyan leader in Nairobi. "And bad things happen."

Under Kenyan law, sexual activity between men is illegal and punishable with a maximum imprisonment of 14 years. Many Kenyan leaders had encouraged Obama not to discuss gay rights on his first trip to the country as President.

But Obama equated legalized discrimination of gays to legalized racism in America.

"And when a government gets in a habit of people treating people differently, those habits can spread," Obama continued. "As an African-American, I am painfully aware of what happens when people are treated differently under the law."

Anal penetration is intrinsically abusive. And not just for gays, either.

Right before she went under the knife she told a reporter barry was gay and moochelle was really michael.

Then some guy shows up in the middle of the operation and say he is her personal Dr. and performs a biopsy and basically killed her.

I put nothing past Barry/Liberals. Nothing. I f they came out and said water was wet, I’d check. We think we are ‘beyond that’ old school MDK politics in 2015. We arent.

These aren’t your typical libs. These are Radicals. They have finally gotten control. He has suspended the part in the constitution about using the American military against it’s own people.

And no one made a peep about it.
