Published on July 9, 2019, Mpenzi Chokuu, a Kenyan homosexual, made headlines at the Pride Month celebration in Cologne, Germany.
Chokuu, known for his bold fashion sense, donned a black and yellow floral short dress with mustard high heels, leaving many in awe.
He was part of thousands of people who gathered to celebrate the Pride Month, a commemoration of the Stonewall riots that occurred at the end of June 1969.
Carrying a placard with the message 'Black queer lives matter!!', Chokuu sent a powerful message to critics who judge his sexuality.
In a bold statement, he shared photos from the event, telling off those who judge him, saying, 'Your impression about me is your personal problem. Fix it!!'
