In Mombasa, Kenya, on September 13th, a group of residents, religious leaders, and advocacy organizations expressed their opposition to the Supreme Court's recent ruling that upheld the LGBTQ community's right to associate.

The Mombasa anti-LGBTQ group organized a demonstration along Moi Avenue, criticizing the Supreme Court for supporting the registration of the National Gay and Lesbian Rights Commission.

The Supreme Court rejected an application by Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament Peter Kaluma, who sought to challenge a previous court decision regarding the registration of the LGBTQ advocacy group.

During the Mombasa protest, the anti-LGBTQ group displayed banners and posters with messages condemning same-sex relationships.

Salim Karama, the chairman of the anti-LGBTQ movement, called on Members of the National Assembly to draft legislation that would prohibit LGBTQ activities in Kenya. He led the movement in issuing a seven-day ultimatum to MPs, urging them to propose a motion opposing the registration of LGBTQ organizations.

Karama argued that the 2010 Kenyan Constitution does not support same-sex marriages, emphasizing that the judiciary's role is to interpret the law, and the Constitution explicitly addresses same-sex marriages.

The Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya (CIPK) also criticized the Supreme Court's decision. CIPK's Sheikh Mohammed Khalifa stated that Kenya is a religious country guided by God, and he believed that the judges' decisions contradicted God's will by aligning with Western beliefs.

These groups declared their intention to organize another large-scale protest on Friday to continue their opposition to LGBTQ rights.
