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
