A "clash of cultures" would not be inaccurate as "culture" includes everything a group says/does. It's an insufficient term as it often conveys mundane differences but "stigma, discrimination, and violence" is a substantially more moral difference (if Wikipedia is accurate about gender identity and expression in Kenya).
What I tried to say, it might be just some curiosity at the beginning, from someone who heard anti-gay propaganda his whole life, not necessarily malice. Wikipedia should have handled the situation better.
E.g. it's not clear why they didn't let her transfer to another group. After this it should have become clear that they can't work together, why it was better to fire her than to move her to a different group.
So others noticed the she may be a problem as she seemed like stirring the pot.
The article is one sided, it would help if wikipedia would clarify what was going on, what they saw. Maybe we can learn more about this from the lawsuit, if it will be public.
