Google Kenya said it would not remove a music video from YouTube. Kenya asked Google to take the video off because it showed gay couples and pictures of gay Kenyan public people. The video also shows what it is like to be gay in Kenya. It was made by a band called Art Attack. It is made from the song Same Love. Kenya’s government said the video was bad for society. It will punish anyone who puts the video on the Internet. Kenya’s government says gay couples are not right. Kenyan gay couples can be put in prison for up to 14 years.
Kenya tries to ban the video on the Internet. This made it very popular. It has been watched over 140,000 times. The video shows some pictures in Nairobi(肯尼亚首都内罗毕), and two women in the video are kissing on a chair near a forest. Kenya first tried to ban the video in February. A government spokesman said, “We have written to Google to remove the video from YouTube.We hope they will do it in one week.” Google replied, “We read the government’s requests, but we will keep with our company rules on…freedom of expression.”
