HO-LESS-PHOBIA

                             Put a stop to homophobia



LGBT activist, Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Source: www.LGBTNEWS.com
 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.

Thabo Makwe wrote " I just dnt get this why should People Judge or Hate I mean we Human beings we cause no Harm we live our lives without disturbing others and also I dnt care who say what about me so long as I get Love from My Family and friends....the rest can Pass on conclusion Desmond Tutu said "I'd rather go to hell than to serve a Homophibic God" This Qoute clearly means that People should Stop using the word of God to Discriminate Gays & Lesbians.....Bangazosi Phambanisela"



Thabo Makwe and I. Jolly as ever.

    I am who I am and I dnt owe anybody. Any explanation, Hate me and see if I care. What I Like the most is when I get to Heaven Standing infront of My Almighty should it happen that He asks me "Thabo My Son Why are you Gay?" My Answer to that will be "you Knew me in My Mother's womb & you knew all My Life before I could come to earth so Father God I dnt know only you know"

    I really don't see why gays and lesbians have to be judged when we are all not perfect and live for who we truly are. I think we should also help the rest get out of their closets and be accepted. I AM!!!!!

    I Am willing to play my part and end this hate against our fellow brothers who are different yet unique,the funny part is that Tutu is a christian and this says the opposite of christian culture.At the end of the day we should accept gays because they are not going anywhere and are part of our lives.

    Tutu really means business... I love his statement: "I'd rather go to hell than to serve a homophobic God". It'll teach all those self-righteous hypocrites to stop using the word of God as an exdcuse to hate on us.

      It is not cool to be gudged for being who you are. But taking a stand means you are proud of who you are and it makes me proud because you stand up for what you believe in.

    No one deserves to be judged by any chance because we are not angels but humans and are entitled to make our lifestyle choices.

    As one individual who stands for the support of homophobia I'm in total support of such champagns that vouch for the liberation of homosexuality,to add on the stigma that is with races as well. In being with speech on Humanity I'm also without understanding on discrimination weather it be race,sex or gender.

    Who are we to judge? I truly concur with you. As long as one person is thrilled about his or her lifestyle let him or her be.
