Pastor Kanyari Vows To Defend LGBTQ+ Members In Kenya, Condemns Men Who Ditch Kids

• Pasto Kanyari maintained that he would be defending the LGBTQ+ community in Kenya and asked people to stop judging them
• He also noted how there was a rise of single mums in central Kenya and called out deadbeat fathers who were running away from responsibilities
• Some netizens criticised him for his stand on the LGBTQ+ community while others supported the pastor for spreading love without judgement

Renowned Nairobi-based preacher Pastor Victor Kanyari has sparked mixed reactions after his sentiments on supporting and defending the LGBTQ+ community members in the country.

The man of God also claimed that many single mothers were being affected in Central while listing places he believed to have the highest number of single mums.

Why Pastor Kanyari is blasting deadbeat dads

In his live TikTok video, Kanyari added that the LGBTQ+ community should be helped rather than judged.

In his words:

"I have come to defend all the gays in Kenya. Please, if you do not want people to be gay or homosexual does not mean you should do something else other than helping them mentally and giving them projects so that they can continue with their lives. No one wants to be gay intentionally or a single mother."

According to Kanyari, most single mums in the central part of Kenya hail from Nyeri, Kiambu, Murang'a, and Karatina, and cannot be compared to other places in the country.

He also accused Kikuyu men of shying off from responsibilities after impregnating women, which was a big contributor to single motherhood in Central.

"Kikuyu men do not want to work with their own hands; they only want to sleep and dress nicely, yet they have no money," he added.

His sentiments caused a heated debate, with many calling him out for his stand on LGBTQ+ while others supported him.

Here are some of the comments from social media users:

@Dennis said:

"Kanyari is dealing with the world the way it is. In fact, those people were also created by God, not Kanyari. I support Kanyari."

@Recho said:

"Christians really know nothing about the bible. Jesus came to preach to the sinners, and that's why he associated with them. That's what Kanyari is doing."

@stlabatia said:

"Now, this is the real Kanyari."

@Warushu Mubengi said:

"I knew this would come up."

@krinion said:

"Thanks for realising that people battle different demons. Help one another rather than judge them."

@Sam said:

"Ukweli mtupu, keep the fight Pastor Kanyari."

@josiahmaina82 said:

"Our assignment is to preach, kazi ya kuokoa ni ya Mungu."
