The press statement was given following the BBI ruling by Judge Noel Ngugi. GALCK stressed its essence in establishing working relationships and alliances with government institutions and civil society organizations.
The coalition envisions a safe space where the fundamental principles of human rights like equality and non-discrimination are guaranteed to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer.
Paying keen attention to the recent rulling of BBI being unconstitutional, null, and void, Judge Ngugi who is also an LGBTQ Community member was under pressure in giving such a ruling. GALCK promises to continue championing their rights as a community until their rights are considered.

In the same spirit, Makena Njeri who is an actor and journalist in her Instagram post dated 19th May 2021 thanked Capital Fm Kenya for creating a space for the LGBTQ people to talk about these topics openly. She goes ahead to say that she is bold about everything that pertains to her as an individual and she is looking forward to many more media organizations talking about LGBTQ with the right people. “This will create opportunities for education and love for the LGBTQ community”, she adds.
