Obama pushes African nations to treat gays equally under law

Obama's Kenyan counterpart responded by calling the matter a "non-issue" for his country.

Obama tackled the sensitive issue on his first full day in Kenya, the country of his father's birth. He drew on his own background as an African-American in the U.S, saying he is "painfully aware of the history when people are treated differently under the law."
