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

There are public relations initiatives and events that aim at managing and/or changing perceptions, (an important PR function) that people have about gay and lesbian people. Events such as world wide  Gay pride parades aim at protecting gay and lesbians against discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, reducing homophobia in the home,community and workplaces as well as building an equal society for all.

 They say if you cant beat them, join them. Lets join them in celebrating their existence. The Joburg pride week will start from 27 September to october 2nd 2013. For more information log on to
 Joburg Pride website

    yes i totally agree with you that we dont have the right to judge these people because we ourselves are not perfect so we should just learn to live with them,in fact these people are not different to us at all. i guess only God can judge such

    This is truely a crime that we find gay people in our community because as we all know when it comes to black culture "monna ke monna and mosadi ke mosadi".Meaning a man is a man and a woman is a woman.I strongly disagree with people who believe in gay rights.I judge on gay people to stop what they are doing because is against the law of the bible even the Pope knows it and he can testify on it"God created a man and a woman".

      We are all entitled to our opinions. 1. Bible is spelt with a capital letter. 2. theres a commandment that says "THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE"

    i believe that guys is not a choice but a person is born like that because no one will change to a guy knowing that the community wont accept him or her. i dont have to judge anyone because even the bible say that you must not judge.

    The rise of gay rights, including, now, the all but inevitable legal support for same-sex marriage at home and abroad, what can Christians who hold to the "traditional" view of marriage say in these circumstances? I personally am HOMOPHOBIC god created woman and man nothing else, call it cliche or what but I strongly stand by my statement and no law or what can make me change my mind.. Gays and Lesbians just do you let's us straight people do us and then maybe just maybe you and us can get along..

    Beautiful article and I must say I agree with you, I have nothing against gay people, who am I to condem or judge another person for choosing a different lifestyle, I myself have gay friends and I admit they most certainly are the most positive people to be around, the free, fun and express themselves well, I enjoy they company and the most defiantly make life interesting, I admire the life's point of view.

    Yes! Nicely put, I love them to death actually I think gay people are the sweetest people in the whole world. People judge them and say hurtful things to them but hey those sweet hearts don’t care what other people think of them, actually I think a lot o f people can learn a thing or two from them. Nice topic enjoyed reading it.

    Love, respect and support should be given to the gay and lesbian community, as much as we don't want to be judged let's not judge them... we should support and respect their lifestyle let them express their feelings towards what they feel comfortable with.
