Is CNN anchor Richard Quest a gay?

While the interview at Capital FM on October 23, 2018, he urged Kenyans to embrace same-sex relationships.

“They are both cities that people in this country can admire, would aspire to be in and would look forward to visiting. There is a reason why I live in those cities…There is a reason why those cities attract talent and wherever because we can live our lives as we wish. We can love who we wish,”

He also talked about decriminalizing Homosexuality, and said,

“I am going to be advancing an agenda that says there should be at least the decriminalization of same sexual activity. It is straightforward, I am not gonna mess around with that one. That is my belief…I do not for a moment, doubt the sincerity of those people who are against me on this issue.

And I can respect their point of view, I merely say that in this day and age, if you want to succeed, if you want Kenya to be a thriving, vibrant modern economy, you are going to look at this in a different way and ask yourself what is it about these very successful places that we need to try at least to attract. That is the way you do it. You let people live their lives, love whom they want and the way they wish,”
