Why Sodom and Gomorrah is trending in Kenya and beyond.
The phrase Sodom and Gomorrah has been trending for the last 24 hours on social media platforms following remarks by the catholic church Pope.
Sodom and Gomorrah have been trending in the context of the two biblical cities that were destroyed by God due to their wickedness and engaging in homosexuality. The two cities were destroyed by the use of sulfur and fire.
In an interview with one of the international media houses, Pope Francis defended the LGBTQ community against criminalization. In his statement, Pope Francis said that homosexuality is not a crime and those engaging in the culture should not be viewed as criminals.
The pope also said that we are all children of God, those practicing the homosexuality culture and the straight.
Pope’s statement elicited mixed reactions among social media uses across the world with some agreeing with his statement as others bashed the catholic church for the pope’s stand on homosexuality.
Some questioned why the whites would tell Africans that polygamy is bad while at the same time they are showing Africans that same gender relationship is not bad.
