 On the 27th of July 2013, retired anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu expressed his emotions about the rise of homophobia in South Africa and the world at large.
Tutu was joined at the "Free and Equal" press event by UN Human Rights High Commissioner Navi Pillay and Justice Edwin Cameron of the South African Constitutional Court. There they announced the launch of the year-long project, which the UN's website describes as a “global public education campaign to promote greater respect for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people everywhere," with a focus on "legal reforms and public education to counter homophobia and transphobia."
Archbishop Tutu said the UN's new campaign against "homophobia" was similar to the campaign he waged against racism in South Africa.

"I am as passionate about this campaign as I ever was about apartheid. For me, it is at the same level," he said.
The ultraliberal Anglican prelate played a leading role in the fight against the South African apartheid system, but has made a name for himself more recently as a champion of homosexuality.

Gay and proud...

A society that aspires to respect human rights cannot disrespect people because of sexual orientation” – Justice Edwin Cameron: Supreme Court of Appeals



We are all just gay (happy)

I got you didnt I? I'm not gay but I dont hate on those who are, instead I love them to bits because they are not afraid to stand for who they are and what they believe in.  Some call them hurtful names such as "izitabane" and "inkonkoni" especially black dominated communities. But do they care an ounce? I really don't think so. To me they are abo "namfazi", "mosadi" and above all normal human beings who do not deserve to be looked down on. See, I do not find reason why they should be discriminated against because of what they are, be it gay or lesbian. Some say they are born with it while some just felt they are attracted to people of the same gender as them. Is that a crime? If yes, why do you feel the need to judge? I think gay people are the most jolly species one can find, its either you love them or you leave them as they are. 'ungabaphambaniseli' as they like to say (dont mess with them) or they will give you reasons to dislike them. Most of my gay friends are gay and proud, who am I to judge them? And who are we to be asking whos the man in their relationships?This is by far the most hurtful thing one can ever ask, according to a homosexual couple I know. I just love them and even the Pope is cool with them
