Adam was in a stable relationship when he cheated on his partner. Did he fall out of love or was it just out of boredom? I moved from Kisii to Nairobi three years ago. Being openly gay and falling in love with another man in a town like Kisii is not easy.
Other than just seeking sexual and emotional independence, I wanted to find someone to love and live with. It took me two years to find the right guy. All the men I met were only interested either in having sex or being friends.
No one was ready to commit. They would clearly say that they prefer NSA no strings attached stuff. At the end of two years, when I met Simon, I was extremely tired and exhausted. He was a handsome and single independent music artist from Nairobi. I was surprised to find out he was gay because he seemed to be charming many women at the party. We were both a little drunk but I remember our first conversation very clearly.
Since both of us were open about our sexuality, he asked me about my views on getting married to a man in the future. I told him how difficult it seemed given the law on homosexuality in Kenya. However, I was still interested in fighting against it and going ahead, somewhere else.
So I said yes. He smiled and asked me if I liked him. Even before I could answer him, I knew I was already very attracted to him. Over the next few days, we met several times. He had the exact personality I desired. His confidence made me feel very secure. Over time, I realised it was not just the mutual attraction between us but even the sexual chemistry that worked very well.
