Openly doing Man to Man sex at long last: Two Kenyan men wed in London

Two Kenyan men on Saturday became the first gay couple to wed in London. Charles Ngengi, 40 and his bride, Daniel Chege Gichia, 39, became civil partners under the controversial Civil Partnership Act which came into effect in the UK in 2005 allowing couples of the same sex to have legal recognition of their relationship.
The couple tied the knot at a civil partnership ceremony at Islington Town Hall in North London at 11.30 a.m. UK time. According to the Act, a civil partnership is defined as a legal marriage between gay and lesbian couples, and any couples who enter into a civil partnership obtain the new legal status of civil partners, instead of the traditional husband and wife status.
The 30-minute ceremony witnessed by 50 guests was conducted by the registrar of marriages at Islington Council. Both Ngengi and Chege clad in matching cream suits and black shoes, arrived at Islington Council Town Hall shortly before 11 a.m. driven by a close friend in a Volvo car.
After taking the vows witnessed by two close associates, the registrar said: “It gives me great pleasure to officially pronounce you couple civil partners”. The couple kissed passionately amid deafening applause from the congregation gathered to witness the reunion.
As curious guests scrambled to have a glimpse of the newly weds’ the couple took turns to sign registration documents under the supervision of the registrar. Unlike in ordinary civil marriages, no form of religious activity is allowed to occur during the process of registering the civil partnership.
Among the guests at the controversial nuptials included Chege’s former British husband’ David Cleaves, Julius Reuben, a top Tanzanian gay model, a cross-section of the couple’s close associates mainly drawn from diverse gay and lesbian communities in London as well-wishers among Kenyan residents in London.
Conspicuously absent from the closely guarded ceremony were family members of both men. After the ceremony, the couple and their guests drove to nearby Alexandra Palace where they posed for their wedding pictures. A lavish civil partnership reception was planned at Safari Bar in North Finchley in North London.
But despite the fun and the glamour accompanying the unusual wedding’ not everyone is raising a glass to the happy couple. The marriage has raised a storm among Kenyan residents in the UK who have described it as ‘unnatural and socially unacceptable’.
Sources close to the couple told the Nation in London on Saturday that despite widespread condemnations, the couple was ‘happy and very much in love’. “Chege and Ngengi are in love, and they have decided to ‘publicly declare their love’ within the legal framework of this country,” said a source who sought anonymity.
Another Kenyan said: “It time the Kenyan community woke up to reality, some of us are gay; Kenyans have to get over it.” Last weekend, Chege, who is openly gay and well known among Kenyan migrant community in the UK, was spotted wearing an engagement ring at an upmarket London social function accompanied by Ngengi.
On July 30, the couple was photographed together for the first time in public, along with David Cleaves at Invest in Africa Build Africa – Kenyan Housing Expo held at the Holiday Inn, Regent Park in London.
Pictures of the three men dining among guests at a lavish dinner hosted by Realken International Ltd in collaboration with the Ministry of Housing and the Kenya High Commission in London, which was attend by Soita Shitanda, the minister for housing, and Joseph Muchemi, Kenya High Commissioner in the UK, were posted on a popular London Kenyan website, www.misterseed.com.
Ngengi, who arrived in London from Nairobi in mid-June, had a long-distance relationship with Chege. Sources said the couple are familiar faces in many gay spots in Nairobi. Chege, an auxiliary nurse at a North London hospital, arrived in London in the mid 1990s from his rural village of Gaturi in Murang’a district.
After settling in London, he met and befriended Cleaves at a London gay bar before moving to his affluent Crouch End residence on Cardinal Way, which they renamed Gaturi Towers. Chege enjoyed a long-term openly gay relationship with Cleaves,65, a former printer and a married father of two grown-up children.
In August 2000, the couple made headlines in Kenya after a local daily newspaper published details of their intimate bizarre relationship. Pictures of Chege and Cleaves attending the 2000 Mardi Gras – Gay and Lesbian festival in London stunned Kenyans in a front page story headlined Murang’a boy and his British husband.
The couple separated four years ago but remained close. Mr Chege now lives with his partner in a one-bedroom council flat in Finsbury Park, North London. Born in Gaturi village in Murang’a Mr Chege dropped out of primary school before he could finish Standard Eight due to what he once said were financial difficulties.
Living home with only Sh5, Chege moved to Nairobi in 1989 in search of employment. With the help of a relative, he first secured a job at fruit kiosk in the city centre. In a newspaper interview in 2000, he said he had always been attracted to men and it was while in the city that he was able to find his way into Nairobi’s gay community. He left the country in 1994, first flying to Spain before moving to London where he met Cleaves. The couple visited Kenya on holiday on several times and spent some time at Chege’s home in Murang’a.

For some reason, my original comment did not pass the approval test. But I insist, Chege and Cleaves, and so many other secretly gay have simply fallen victim of western media propaganda of promoting gay lifestyle as simply different but not wrong. Mr. and Mrs. Chege, God can heal your mental sickness.

Probably being gay is embedded in some peoples’ chromosomes as mutation, but it is so obvious that this is a result biological malfunction. Nature always intends there be passage of offsprings.This you can’t get from this type of union.Therefore gays should be regarded in the same way as disabled population.

I am not Homophobia but i stick to my strong belief that marriage is a union btwn a Man and a woman. Anything more or less is Sin. Most gay PPL are the most depressed ppl and most of them go insane before they age from depression and feeling outcasted by society. Most gay ppl turn gay after failed marriages and 90% of gay ppl have been reported to be seeing partners of the opposite sex at the same time. So the gay Shenanigan is a Hype lived by many for few yrs and grow out of fast. Caleb Mauti.

Many of my non-Kikuyu friends tell me that we Kikuyus would lick the devil’s ass, if that act was to benefit us financially. I see the same trend here – one of my tribesman is willing to engage in this ashaming and immoral union for that British passport. Given time, I foresee human beings marrying goats and dogs, because we are ‘free’! This is absolutely ashaming not only to our tribe, but to Kenya as a whole!

Apostle Paul was not Kenyan. Hence, quoting him as an authority is irrelevant. Gay’s, like black people,are being oppressed by ideological/ fanatical interpretations of the bible. It is time we gave them FULL recognition as fellow human beings. Hypocrisy, bigotry and intolerance won’t advance our society.

Am not quick to judge gay people but would rather understand why people are gay. Are they born gay? Am actually interested in any literature about african culture if anyone has that information. @njeridiva i dont think its wise to be quick to call african traditions backward, coz i believe that every cultural practice had an explanation that made sense at that time. I live in Norway where being gay is allowed, even priests are gay, but even here the majority has just accepted gaysim, most parents dread that their kids could be gay.

@ Jimmy. The Master is now speaking. As pointed out by Waiyaki, gayism is not tolerated even in the Bible – the oldest reference book amongst God’s people. Remember, God’s intended purpose for sexual activity is procreation, not fun. And gays cannot make children! As a rough guide, anything that is not practised by the lower animals is unnatural and should never be practised by mankind. Neither sheep nor wolves practise gayism!!! Not even your favorite meal – chicken – stoops so low. Have a reflective day, won’t you?

I doubt that we should spend so much energy arguing to and fro about whether or not gayism is an acceptable human trait. Religion aside, morality aside, and witchcraft aside too, just think simple biology. Suppose we all converted “homo”, wouldnt that be a sure highway to self-extincting our species? Now think morphology. They have eyes but they do not see!

The Apostle Paul, writing by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, declares that homosexuality “shall not inherit the kingdom of God” (I Corinthians 6:9; 10). Homosexuality is an illicit lust forbidden by God. He said to His people Israel, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination” (Leviticus 18:22). “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them” (Leviticus 20:13). The Christian can neither alter God’s viewpoint nor depart from it.

To be gay is simply abnormal and goes against both natural laws and religious sanctions .No sane or sober minded person can condone such behavior and the parents and relatives of the couple or duo should condemn and isolate them as outcasts and social deviants or misfits.

We are behaving like ancient people used to behave towards the lepers; issolating and condemning. Yet we use God as our shield to do so. Jesus himself touched and healed a leper. He even accepted tiding from a prostitute. He farther dared ‘he without sin cast the first stone’ and no one did. What am saying is that we try to emulate men and women of character and Jesus led by example.

Sodom and Gromorrah never happened. It was just a story. If it was tru then Lot had sex with his daughters(incest) in order to repopulate the worls. Which is worse two consenting men choosing to be together. Or a father sleeping with his own daughters? But, this is Kenya, where sex is Taboo, until one can feel righteous. Also, didnt the ARabs sell Africans, who were not muslim,to the white man. The same white man who brought christianity to colonize, rape, and exploit the African?

“Submitted by Gierse These two men are totally out of their mind,its a shame for the African continent” So, do you think that sexual relations between men have never occured in Africa before? Are you really that naive? And why are they “out of their mind”? They are doing what they want, so they can be happy, which is everyone’s right. Good for them and bad for Kenya that religious fairy tales have such a hold that they can stop such a wonderful thing happening there.

Homosexuality was a sign of intellectual and societal peaking in the ancient world, hence people like Alexander the Great, Poppaea Sabina, the Greeks, etc got involved in it. We all know what happened to those civilizations. Perhaps it would be accurate from the preceding occurrences that this society too has reached its zenith and a renewal awaits? For to me there is nothing immediately alarming or altogether novel about this, it’s just what the world knows to do best happening, repeat the same mistakes hoping for a different outcome, an anecdotal yet principal definition of madness.

I really don’t understand why Kenyans are making a big fuss about the Gay couple that was on the papers; I believe that people should be given a chance and the right to choose their own sexuality….. So it is plain silly and ignorant for anyone to be mad about someone Else’s sexuality….period; If a tree makes me Happier than any man….. why can’t I marry it?

Go vent instead to the politicians!! OYANGOFREDé: You shd join the Hague team, i bet you did commit hineous crimes in 2007!!

Why does someone elses life bring some much hate in people and to answer someone else question, yes they have found gay animals.

Mwanaume gani angependa kulala na mwanaume mwingine kama akili yake ni nzuri. We are following the western culture blindly and foolishly. In America where gay marriage is allowed in some states, the majority of the people detest it and consider it a disgrace. I know it is a shame for the parents of those two young men.It is a bad example that you will never want any child to imitate.Your parents sent you abroad to better your lives not to ashame them.If you were my brother I will forget about you.

The club of homophobic hecklers likes to run their mouth on the argument that homosexuality is a sin forbidden by God; but you’ll hardly hear them ranting as much regarding pedophilia or other wired s**t like screwing a cadaver in ceremonial rites. Many gays and lesbians in the community I live in are upright citizens, some of whom are doctors, engineers, architects, and, yes, even priests — all serving their community devotedly. Should they be killed too? All this hoo ha that moralists like to create around homosexuality is yet another loud gong they’re sounding to announce their irrelevance.

‘Bride’ Chege appears beautiful and feminine perhaps because a shot of Botox has softened up the vertical lines on his face, and given him the sickening smooth feminine look that you now see on the picture. Botox, the chemical that the ‘bride’ has used to ‘press’ his hair and homosexuality all came with the white man. But, what is most important is that medical consequences await Botox addicts, while the lessies and homos face the prospects of spending an eternity in hell. Kenya should have nothing to do with such callous, child-endangering,godless white man’s laws.

From the recent SA 800m female world championship scandal, I understand that some of these people have both male and female organs, ie both testicles and ovaries… both a vagina and a clitoris that can function as a penis. So one may be brought up as a man, but the ovaries would be pumping oestrogen. Kikuyu language does not the equivalent word for gay. Robert Mugabe always bans gay people from participating in the annual Harare book fair, saying that they are worse than dogs and pigs…

I wish there is no Mungiki in Kenya, you will be surprised how many incideces will arise. good time boys.

These guys are exercising their God given rights. Rights that they have been denied in KENYA. So nobody dare talk ill about them. Look at yourself first before you curse anyone. Remember the swahili saying “Nyani haoni kundule”

The word ‘unafrican’ in this context is a joke. If we have to be honest about getting rid of all things unafrican I would suggest that we begin with the Bible and Koran which are quite unafrican and have formed the basis for a lot of this hate and needless wars. The same people who are crying out to God here are the very same people who whispered evil and stood ready to carry pangas against their own neighbours on the basis of tribe. Kenyans ought to be ashamed of their hypocrisy and applaud these two for their sincerity

Do you think gay people will last? Since they cannot reproduce, their tiny population will decimate itself. It happened in the past and it will happen again. Beware of the decadence of “modern” society!

Those who feel that they are too pure at heart and in their deeds should open their mouths to criticize these two people of God.So what if they are gay? Or is this the issue of what is the lesser evil?? From what i gather, they are only gay. They havent stolen your money, they havent rooted your countries resources, they dont rob your families or even kill. People get real and try to grow up..the world has moved on.

I wish them a happy life to live as they wish. Kenyans are living in denial. Gays are among us – they could be your sister, brother or even close friend that you don’t know about.

For those of us who have worked in the vehicle assembly sector, the minimum irreversible requirement regardless of race and culture is to know which part fits where! Nursing and fruit kiosk may have denied these two people that joinery advantage. However we are all guilty for plenty of offenses and I wish we would labour to change in a personal scale and leave God to judge in fairness.

While I hate this, it’s a reality we must accept. Although this is un African, unnatural, against the Bible, Quaran and Hindu scriptures I hate the curses that go out here. Some of us have done worse things including killing, rape, exploitation, and all sorts of evils yet we are ready to curse two people who have not infringed on anybody’s rights. I can only pray that the Lord may change their lives to come out of this.

True,these guys ddnt choose to be born gay.And it’s 100 times better to be gay than to be corrupt which creates suffering,or pedophile,molester or to know that your blood is not clean and you still go make love without protection and infect many other people.These are the most evil things!!

Kenyans should wake up there are gay people amongst us and there are quite a big number but because of the stigma associated with it most are in the closet. Even though l totally disagree with man marrying a man l chose not to bury my head in the sand and believe that there are no gay kenyans as most of the people who are commenting here. By the way Homosexuality started even before Jesus was born remeber sodom and gomorrah? But this guys married for papers. Chege alitaka makaratasi

Wow it is amazing for a person who is normally discriminated against for being black can have the audacity to discriminate against someone for their sexual preference. Nobody chooses to be born black or gay. What gets me is a homophobic black or a racist gay person, we are minorities and any sort of discrimination is bad so think before you judge. Tujengeni taifa kwanza na tuwache chuki, wacha watu wapendane.

Don’t discriminate on gays, that’s just like racism! This is a real world, its who they are and they didn’t apply to be gay, they were born like so…don’t even put God in this…he created them too…for those taunting curses, what if ur son were gay, would you kill him…have a real day!

The honor they have done Kenya is sanitizing their evil acts in a foreign land. How I wished all lesbians and gays, would pack and leave Kenya to a land of their desire. This is a cursed lot. This would save us from what became of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Those shady ass Kenyans in London know better than to hate on their fellow Kenyans, who happen to be gay.Considering they live in London- where being openly gay is normal. I think those people who hate on gays and use religion to condemn,aren’t brave enough to say they are actually gay. So what some people, a lot of people are gay!!!!!! including Kenyans, we just don’t acknowledge it . Besides, don’t they like have bills to pay or something, instead of hating? Congrats to the couple, but Nation, don’t use ‘bride’ next time two dudes get hitched!!!!!!!!!

From Murang’a village to UK…then becoming gay. Well it would be adventurous if it was not too fake. I live in the west and it shocks me the extent to which Africans are willing to go to ape the west. Let’s face it, homosexuality is not African – and my take is that this is either about money or personal insecurities. God help us.

congratulations to both of them and good luck. Your courage is admirable. Everyone has his own body and life to live and those saying it’s socially unacceptable and unnatural need to go back to school (good school for that matter). Sexuality is a very messy affair and never criticize homosexuals out of ignorance; first gain knowledge and then talk about it.
