‘He Said Yes’: CNN Journalist Richard Quest Proposes to Gay Lover

Media personality Richard Quest has proposed to his gay lover. 

The Cable News Network (CNN) journalist took to social media on Monday to announce that his partner accepted his marriage proposal.

“I asked, and he said “yes”,” Quest captioned an Instagram photo of himself with his lover, both grinning to the cameras.

The Quest Means Business presenter visited Kenya last October where he opened up about his sexuality.

In an interview with a local radio station, the 57-year-old openly gay said he was unapologetic for calling for the decriminalization of same-sex relationships in Kenya and other parts of the world.

“I am obviously going to be advancing an agenda that says there should be at least the decriminalization of same sexual activity. It is straight forward, I am not gonna mess around with that one. That is obviously my belief,” he said.

Quest was in the country to cover a number of business stories and the launch of maiden Kenya Airways non-stop flight to the United States on October 28th, 2018.

Last week, Kenya's High Court declined to repeal sections of the Penal Code that criminalize gay sex.
