§165 (sexually neutral) (Repealed, 2006)

“Any male person who, whether in public or private commits any act of gross indecency with another male person, or procures another male person to commit any act of gross indecency with him, or attempts to procure the commission of any such act by any male person with himself or with another male person, whether in public or private, is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for five years, with or without corporal punishment.”

Other:

§ 163 prohibits “attempts” to commit the offence specified in § 162 [7 years] (Repealed, 2006)

Transgender heading.

That sub-heading is huge. Any way we can shorten it? --Harizotoh9 (talk) 01:03, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Public opinion section - split

Seems like we don't want to conflate views of religious leaders with the public. Therefore, the section should be split along those lines, making it clear that the views of religious leaders are believed to influence the public. Catrìona (talk) 23:55, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 10 June 2024

This edit request to LGBT rights in Kenya has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change penalty in both the main penalty block and summary from "up to 14 to 21 years with fines" to "up to 21 years with fines", it's more grammatically correct and is also clearer. In addition, in the pending bill penalizing homosexual acts with up to death removed the sentence at the end that the bill was voted against. This statement is unsourced. 118.107.220.32 (talk) 00:02, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
