Kenyan Author Binyavanga Wainaina Comes Out As Gay.

Leading Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina has come out to say he is gay, making him one of the most high-profile Africans to do so.
Homosexual acts are illegal in Kenya and many other African states. He made the disclosure in an article entitled: I am a homosexual, mum, coinciding with his 43rd birthday - at a time there is a fierce debate about gay rights in several African countries. Nigeria has recently passed legislation tightening restrictions on homosexual groups, while Uganda's president has blocked a similar bill. Mr Wainaina told BBC Newsday's Chris Mason why he chose to make his announcement now.  BBC News.
