Kenyans on social media have finally decided to air their opinions on the controversial gay music video that was released earlier this week.
Dubbed ‘Same Love’, the song is a remix of Macklemore’s 2012 hit with the same title. It has been done by rap band Art Attack and features famous Kenyan gay personalities like rapper Noti Flow, Joji Baro and Binyavanga.
On Thursday, the video was among the most discussed topic on twitter through the hashtag #KenyanGayVideo.
We have sampled some of the reactions below

Morality is relative. #KenyanGayVideo is subject to morality and choice. I may not agree with it but it is not my choice to make.
