I am BEYOND MIFFED to discover this :
A new ActionAid report describes the shocking rise of "corrective" rape in South Africa - in which South African lesbians are being raped in an effort to "cure" them of their sexual orientation. Support groups in Cape Town say they see 10 new cases of "corrective" rape every week. And it's even more widespread around the rest of the country.
Many perpetrators of rape already go unpunished in South Africa, but the situation is even worse for lesbian women. Indeed, 31 lesbian women have been murdered in homophobic attacks since 1998, but in only one of these cases has there been a conviction.
Although South Africa's constitution recognizes rights of gay and lesbian people, its legal system does not view crimes committed against gay and lesbians on the basis of sexual orientation to be hate crimes. The South African legal system must recognize "corrective" rape as a hate crime in addition to a rape in order to establish a greater punishment for this brutal and widespread act of sexual violence. Urge South African President Kgalema Motlanthe to deem "corrective" rape a hate crime!
Girls, I know some of you might appeared not to be bothered about that incident cause it fucking didn't happen to you right!? Yes, yes I understand how SELFISH and SELF ABSORBED some of you can be. But what happened to those South African women out there, do portray the fact that there's still NO EQUALITY when comes to gender issues.
For one thing, we are living in the world where lesbians and gays are well accepted by most of us. Some of you might be homophobic or appeared to pursue that "anti-homo" theory and that's your problem for not being so narrow minded on such gender issues. Back to the "corrective" rape thing. Have you ever thought of why gays are not being killed or raped to "correct" them?! To make them straight? Or even to get them liking women instead?? When women, who are not straight got killed and rape to make them pursue men instead.
What I am trying to say is, its is really up to them to pursue what they want in life and decide who they want to be!
Everyone has an identity. Nobody has the right to take it away from us. Imagine everyone appears to be the same in the context of the same characteristics, thoughts, or attitudes wouldn't the world be so blunt and dull!? Everywhere you go, you see someone similar. And same goes to those women who well, appeared to be not straight since they prefers women to men. For those men to decide and to correct those women who know who they are and willing to accept the fact that they are not straight is what I say, they are crossing over the limit of human rights.
Yes, fuck whoever who still thinks that there's no such crap like, bloody HUMAN RIGHTS or EQUALITY in this world. Yes, there's no such shyt last time, till Thomas Jefferson came out with his Declaration of Independence stating that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL!!
I am beginning to feel that I am blabbering here..
Let me get to the damn point,
