The World’s host Marco Werman shares news of the gay marriage celebrations in Taiwan and hears from the BBC’s Julia Carneiro about the recent supreme court decision about gay rights in Brazil. Also, there was disappointment by LGBTQ activists in Kenya on Friday as the high court there decided to uphold the colonial-era laws that criminalize homosexuality. Judges said that it didn’t violate the new constitution. The World’s host Marco Werman speaks with Aida Holly-Nambi, a producer for the podcast, “AfroQueer,” in Nairobi, about her reaction.
