Kenya's National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (NGLHRC) has gone to court after being refused registration seven times on the grounds that homosexuality is a crime in Kenya and that the group's name is "unacceptable."

The Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) Coordination Board, which registers and coordinates NGOs in Kenya, said in its latest letter of refusal that it could reject the registration of an NGO if its name was "in the opinion of the Director repugnant to or inconsistent with any law or is otherwise undesirable".
