Abstract

The debates and approval for LGBTQ activities vary across the globe. Apparently, it is appealing to socialists (Asian) than it is for religious and cultural countries (Muslims and most Africa countries). In a global survey conducted in 2021, three percent of respondents from 27 countries out of the 206 sovereign states declared to be homosexual, gay, or lesbian. However, a sociological approach to LGBTQ in the contemporary society with alignment of the foundations of social institutions has created debates. The Kenyan cases where a court ruling to register LGBTQ organizations with the NGO board resulted, an uproar and varied reactions among Kenyans. Similar indications emerged in Uganda when the parliament passed a bill banning LGBTQ activities in the country. Thus, this article looks at the perceived place of LGBTQ in the five (5) foundations of social institutions; family, education, religion, health and economy. The study revealed that the acceptance and embrace of LGBTQ activities based on these foundations is by far gaped. The foundations describe the sociological and moral dispensations guided by what nature dictates which is a contradiction of the beliefs and activities of LGBTQ. We give our thoughts about the LGBTQ based on the findings.
