Veteran Afro-fusion artiste Eric Wainaina has expressed his view on homosexuality.
While delivering a keynote address at the Africa Conference for Collaborations, Exchange and Showcases last week, Wanaina revealed that who someone chooses to love is their own personal choice.
“A lot of our colleagues are gay. Who someone chooses to love has nothing to do with you. Concern yourself with things that you do,” Eric said.
According to him, LGBT people have come out of the closet and want to be accepted and respected just like any other human being. He further added that we should stop conforming to the old ways of life.
"We have to play our part in defining Africa's present and future agenda. We can’t let the agenda be decided by the conservative, polyester, oversized suit, bald-headed men."
The three-day pan–African conference took place at the Kenya National Theater, bringing together music industry players from over 10 countries.
At the opening of the conference, Eric Wainaina was feted with the 2018 Music in Africa Honorary Award.
“To be counted worthy of recognition and holder of the 2018 Music in Africa Honorary Award was a humbling and gratifying experience. Thank you,” he wrote.
