Why I'm An Activist

"Gangs of South African men are raping lesbians in the belief it will "cure" the women's sexual orientation, an aid agency said Friday." See MSNBC's story on it here. And don't try to tell me this is because people are so much more ignorant in South Africa. There's a whole bunch of Bible Belt Americans that think the same way. And believe that beating up or killing a gay person is less of a crime than beating up or killing a hetero.

Oh how disgusting. I hadn't heard that.

and of course these gangs don't send their female members out to "re-orient" gay males. so it's obvious that the claim of "curing" gays is bogus. it's just a crude excuse to violate someone the gangs consider "inferior".
