This study examines the perspectives of the Kenyan population regarding the LGBTQ community. It tested the hypotheses that generational differences do not significantly affect attitudes toward LGBTQ, that culture and stereotypes are the primary factors driving rejection, and that external pressure has minimal influence on Kenyan views. The research aimed to identify the factors shaping these perspectives, future concerns about LGBTQ, and the barriers to acceptance in Kenya. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection through a structured survey with both closed- and open-ended questions. Data was gathered online via Google Forms, and analyzed using SPSS for quantitative data and Atlas.ti for qualitative responses. Findings reveal that cultural norms, religious beliefs, and misconceptions about LGBTQ issues are key reasons for rejection. Additionally, there is a widespread fear of moral decay and the erosion of traditional values. However, the study also indicates that education and awareness campaigns could shift public attitudes, making LGBTQ issues more acceptable in Kenya over time. The research underscores the importance of addressing misinformation and fostering a more inclusive, informed perspective on LGBTQ right.
Keywords: LGBTQ, Kenya, cultural norms, religious beliefs, generational differences, stereotypes, moral decay, awareness campaigns, social change, inclusivity.
