We remember Edwin Chiloba — a prominent LGBTQ+ rights activist and fashion designer

Edwin Chiloba, a prominent LGBTQ+ rights activist and fashion designer in Kenya, was found dead last week according to authorities in the country. Police arrested four suspects in the case, including Chiloba’s roommate and long-time friend. Due to a British colonial-era law, Kenya is one of 68 countries where homosexual relations are illegal. Discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community in Kenya remains common, despite the lax enforcement of the nation’s sodomy laws.
