Google has invited a Kenyan government official and anti-gay activist to its Web Rangers conference in Mountain View, California, even sponsoring his visa.
Ezekiel Mutua, who is the head of the Kenyan film classification board (KCFB), gained notoriety this year for banning from the country's servers local band Art Attack's cover of the Macklemore gay marriage anthem Same Love, saying it "promotes homosexuality" in Kenya, where homosexuality is illegal.
