Abstract: The LGBTQ community had a victory as the Kenyan Supreme Court ruled in their favor for the right to form association. This study sought to investigate the attitudes of Kenyan towards formation of LGBTQ association and the possible sociocultural effects. A convergent parallel design was adopted in this study. One hundred and sixty-eight Kenyans participated in the quantitative strand of the study through voluntary sampling while six other Kenyans participated in the face-to-face interview through purposive sampling. Quantitative data was analyzed descriptively while the qualitative data was analyzed through narrative and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that although, Kenyans have varied views on the prevalence of LGBTQ in Kenya, the demographic information showed that 1 in 10 Kenyans in the study identified having a same-sex attraction. Kenyans showed both positive and negative attitudes towards the formation of LGBTQ association with majority showing negative attitude. It was also revealed that Kenyans think formation of LGBTQ will have negative effects of the Kenyans sociocultural-religious environment.
