We’re so back! How were your holidays?#galckplus #hereforall #hotpeoplefollowgalckplus #hapakwawote #queerlygalckplus

To the friends, family, allies, partners and the c

To the friends, family, allies, partners and the community we serve, thank you. 2025 demanded courage, asked us to withstand uncertainty, resist hostility, care for one another, and continue showing up even as the ground shifted beneath us, and together we did; every programme delivered, every case handled, every training, partnership, protest, strategic meeting, and community gathering was possible because this movement holds each other with intention. You trusted us through transition, built with us through pressure, marched with us through fear, and imagined with us through uncertainty; 2025 asked us to be brave, and we were, and as we look ahead, 2026 will ask us to be strategic, and we are ready stepping forward with clarity, unity, and conviction to build a Kenya where every queer person can live, love, heal, organise, and thrive in dignity.

As we close our office for the holidays, please note that we will be back on January 14th, 2026; during this period we will not have regular access to email, but we look forward to responding to your message promptly upon our return. In the meantime, you may find helpful resources on our website at galck.org, and if you are reaching out with a security-related concern, please contact your regional ESRT (Emergency Security Response Team) for immediate support; our community centre line will also be unavailable during the break, though our social media platforms will be checked periodically, and you can find all our socials via our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/galckplus.

4 million views across all our socials can you even believe it?!

2025 was about so much more. We grew louder, bolder, and more visible, from new leadership, new members, court wins, global collabs, Pride moments, powerful publications, and a strategic roadmap for our queer future.

This is #galckpluswrapped2025, the year we showed up everywhere. We can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store, and thank you for walking with us none of this would’ve been possible without you.

Queerly, galck+

In November 2025, @inend.ke @galck_ke and. @nglhr

In November 2025, @inend.ke @galck_ke and. @nglhrckenya unveiled a groundbreaking new body of research, an ambitious continuation of the 2022 report that first mapped the everyday realities, risks, resilience and shifting social attitudes surrounding LGBTQ+ lives in Kenya.

This new edition widens the lens: documenting how stigma is reproduced in homes, schools, digital spaces, faith spaces, workplaces and community spaces, while also highlighting the subtle but powerful emergence of allyship, awareness and collective resistance. Through lived experiences, behavioural insights and community-grounded data, the report captures a Kenya that is changing unevenly, imperfectly, but undeniably as more people confront harmful narratives and imagine a more inclusive society.

These insights land at a pivotal moment as the nation moves closer to the 2027 elections a period when public discourse sharpens, political rhetoric intensifies, and LGBTQ+ lives risk being weaponised for gain. This research grounds the fight against misinformation in evidence, offering advocates, policymakers and communities the tools to push back, organise and protect hard-won freedoms.

It is a call to action: to safeguard rights, strengthen solidarity, and ensure LGBTQ+ Kenyans can show up, participate and shape the future of their country with confidence and safety.

Today Queering the Ballot: Phase II was launched!🏳️‍🌈🇰🇪

… a reminder that Kenya’s ballot revolution must include LGBTQ+ Kenyans. We meet at a critical moment of political uncertainty, rising anti-rights rhetoric, and shrinking civic space.

This isn’t just a report; it’s a renewed commitment to political liberation and a refusal to be erased. As we head into a high-risk election cycle, we affirm that LGBTQ+ people have always been part of Kenya’s democratic fabric

On Trans Day of Remembrance, we hold space for grief, for memory, and for the unwavering truth that every trans life is valuable, loved, and deserving of safety. We remember trans lives taken by stigma, exclusion, and violence. We commit to justice, safety, and dignity for all trans people, across identities, experiences, and communities.

Here are some new updates on #Repeal162 🏳️‍🌈

As of November 2025, the fight to decriminalize queer love in Kenya is still ongoing. Section 162 & 165 remain in place but so does our resistance, our joy, and our demand for justice. ✊🏾
