In Nairobi on Monday, members of the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya called upon Obama to refrain from discussing the gay agenda, reports CNSNews.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is important for us as Kenyans to know that the U.S. is not God,\u201d\u009d evangelical Bishop Mark Kariuki was quoted by local media as saying.<\/p>\n
Kariuki added that Obama should not use the visit to \u201ctalk about the gay issue.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
Irungu Kangata, a lawmaker in President Uhuru Kenyatta\u2019s The National Alliance (TNA) party, said, \u201cWe are telling Mr. Obama when he comes to Kenya this month and he tries to bring the abortion agenda, the gay agenda, we shall tell him to shut up and go home.\u201d\u009d

\nKenyan religious leaders have been warning the United States for several years about the harmful influence of the militant LGBT agenda on culture and society. In 2013, Kenyan Cardinal John Njue, Archbishop of Nairobi and president of the Kenyan Episcopal Conference, joined other African leaders in open dismissal of Obama\u2019s calls for acceptance of same-sex marriage when the American president visited Africa at that time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose people who have already ruined their society\u201d\u00a6let them not become our teachers to tell us where to go,\u201d\u009d said Njue in response to Obama\u2019s statements promoting same-sex marriage. \u201cI think we need to act according to our own traditions and our faiths.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
Similarly, Ruto rebuked Obama for promoting same-sex marriage in Africa during his visit. Speaking at a Catholic Church, Ruto said, \u201cThose who believe in other things, that is their business\u201d\u00a6We believe in God.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said on Monday that Obama would not avoid the topic of the gay agenda during his visit.<\/p>\n
