In most places of the planet, any kind of queer gather ups are manipulated into something illegal and that's a threat to the place's culture and tradition, children morals and amongst others. 

Whereas in other parts of the world, Pride celebrations are no longer looked at such a perspective. They're rather considered as any other celebrations by any other group of people who we share the same world, same blood color, humanity and freedom and Equality. They ain't considered to be a threat to anyone by anyone. 

In Kakuma refugee camp, the most recent queer celebrations are Idahobit 2021 and now history was made in June 2023 when the entire queer refugee community teamed up and organised very beautiful celebrations of Pride year 2023. 

In places where its freedom to celebrate Pride right now, it didn't come on a silver plate, it came with violations as it was a riot, hate speech and crimes, and so much homophobic violations. Currently, most of such places can now celebrate Pride without fear of discrimination, hate violences, and homophobia at all. This is what should triumph around the world. 

When it comes to lgbtiq people living in Kenya and any other places around the world where lgbtiq are being hosted as refugees and asylum seekers, they shouldn't be denied of their freedom. 

The fact that the host country allowed them in to claim asylum basing on their gender identities and expressions, it should be maintained to allow these people find it free and safe to enjoy their asylum therefore, and this is the sole reason why we the LGBTQ refugees in Kakuma refugee camp noticed it significant to organise and celebrate Pride. 

Additionally, a need to spare time and such opportunities to cherish the possibilities of gather ups, fun and joy amidst several violations, discriminations, persecutions, hatred and targets, without trampling on any other person's freedom or rights can't be taken lightly. Everyone in the world needs a chance to celebrate in whichever way that's harmless to the other, this maintened, none of it has to be termed a threat or illegal at all. 

Celebrating Pride, having freedom and full rights of equality to everyone all over the world remains the only reason why everyone needs to be an advocate in one way or another. 

We continue to send a very kind request and reminder to anyone out their making laws that go upto the extent of criminalising the existance of someone, Rainbow flags, celebrations, that these laws don't only end up in the constitution gazettes but they move to the ground, in communities and perpetuate violence against a certain minority group of people that always have to end up with loss of lives, family disunity and neglect, trauma and depression, among others. 

Humanity being put first during the draft of such bills and laws, those are some of the things that must cross your mind. 

These are our brothers, sisters, friends, mothers, kids who are being exposed and put at risk to all this extent and we should seek for room to cause a stop to them, not room for a stir up.
