Jacinta Nzilani Kilonzo is the famous name doing rounds as the Kenyan lesbian pastor who revealed her attraction to women began when she was 16-years-old.

Jacinta shot to the spotlight last Friday as LGBT supporters flocked to court in anticipation of a ruling on whether homosexuality would be decriminalized. The ruling was, however, postponed to May 24 after the judge said there were some hitches.

Jacinta confessed that her attraction to women made her want to become a sister and she enrolled in a missionary programme in Machakos, only to drop out after a pastor s3xually assaulted her.

She said,

I REALLY WANTED TO BECOME A SISTER AND A PRIEST HELPED ME JOIN A MISSION. DURING A MISSION, THE PRIEST STARTED TOUCHING MY BREASTS. I HAD TO RUN AWAY AFTER HE TRIED SLEEPING WITH ME.

The mother of three was later forced by her parents to get married in 1983 when she was just 18. The marriage had issues which were all caused by her not wanting to sleep with her husband because making love was not voluntary.

Jacinta said,

WHILE I WAS MARRIED, I DID NOT WANT MY MAN TO BE NEAR ME AT ALL. IT TOOK TIME BEFORE I COULD AGREE TO MAKE LOVE to HIM

Her husband fell ill in 2008 and later died from liver cancer. After his burial, there were wrangles between her and the in-laws to a point they rejected her and took over the inheritance and forcefully took her children.

MY IN LAWS DID NOT WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH ME ANYMORE.THEY WANTED ME TO LEAVE,TOOK ALL MY INHERITANCE AND LEFT ME WITH NOTHING.

Her in-laws mistreated her and her children to the point where her son got depressed. She said,

ALL THIS AFFECTED MY FAMILY, MOSTLY CHILDREN. MY SON GOT DEPRESSED AND WAS UNDER MENTAL CARE AT MATHARE FOR A WHILE

Three years later, Jacinta decided to start a women’s empowerment programme where they conducted meetings and would discuss harassment and how to deal with it. That is where she met a fellow woman pastor whom she was attracted to.

When asked if she thinks her lesbian relationship is godly, Jacinta was quick to quote John 3:16 saying God’s love had no barrier because he loved everyone, equally.
