MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) -- A Kenyan court on Thursday upheld the use of anal examinations to determine a suspect's sexual orientation, dismissing the argument that the procedure amounts to torture and degrading treatment.
There was no violation of rights or the law, Mombasa High Court Judge Mathew Emukule said.
"I find no violation of human dignity, right to privacy and right to freedom of the petitioners," he said.
The court judgment means that someone can be arrested on a rumor that they are gay and subjected to these tests, he said. "Do we want to use the nation's scarce resources on this?"

And who administers the test? Is it also known as the gay anal probe boner test by chance?
To: Rusty0604
Gays here would LOVE a law like this.
