This historic trip is the first a sitting US President has made to Kenya, and personal one for President Obama whose father was a Kenyan national.
The primary purpose of this trip was for President Obama to attend the Global Entrepreneurial Summit in Nairobi, however his itinerary included an official visit with President Kenyatta.
The issue of gay and same-sex rights, including same-sex marriage, has dominated much of the conversation around President Obama’s trip from Africans who worry that the United States will impose same-sex marriage laws on African countries.
