LGBT News Testing for gay male sex in Kenya ruled legal, case dismissed

I hate to burst your bubble, but these tests are and have been used in the United States of America to diagnose children as victims of "sexual abuse" and this evidence regularly has been used in court against parents. In this country, the test often was called an "anal wink" test and has been medically discredited, which has not by any means eliminated its use as trumped up evidence against parents and relatives of children.

Anyone personally acquainted with anal sex will realize that such a test can be failed by anyone the examiner wishes to fail. It joins the polygraph as a torturous technique that is wonderful for interrogation, but which is junk science for fact finding.

From another story about the Kenyan method: "Law enforcement officials and some medical personnel claim that by forcibly penetrating or otherwise examining the anuses of men accused of homosexuality, they can determine the tone of the anal sphincter or the shape of the anus and draw conclusions as to whether these men have engaged in homosexual conduct."

That kind of witchcraft has been practiced worldwide, and by most progressive democracies into this century. As far as I can tell, Kenya is only slightly more fucked up when it comes to sex, than we are. Witness Pat Robertson encouraging the gays and Muslims to kill each other.

 

What the fuck...

 

This is... just idiotic. Hard to believe countries today still practice this kind of (unsuccessful and widely debunked) examination.

We are way ahead of Kenya, not just slightly. Pat Robertson does not speak for the vast majority of Americans. Even if someone is homophobic, a lot of homophobes don't actually care what gays do in the bedroom. They just hate the publicity of LGBT people.

 

I'd say a change in management is clearly required, just like much of the globe.
