The rise of gay and lesbian killings is on the rise in our democratic South Africa, the latest statistic: Phumeza Nkolonzi. The 22 year old from Nyanga, Cape Town was shot on Saturday (23 June 2012) in front of her family and as Free Gender organizations Funeka Soldaat acclaims it was yet another ‘hate crime’. Not only is this agonizing, brutal and inhumane but my question is ‘If gays and lesbians cannot be safe in their own homes, then where is their safe haven?’
For centuries on hold men have always been portrayed as the ever supreme human species and till this day women all over the world still fight for equality to be seen as equal to men. What is behind all these killings? Women are seen as male property, so who do gays and lesbians belong to? In all honestly, who would deliberately put themselves in a position to be judged, hated and humiliated.
Being a lesbian is not a choice, it’s the self. I generally think men are threatened by the freedom ‘to be’ that comes with being homosexual, they don’t have a choice but to except homosexuality so what do they do, in ‘Alpha Male’ style act out in a barbaric, animalistic manner. The fact is gays and lesbian are here to stay, they were chosen to be in this world, they have a purpose and are loved dearly. Maybe not by everyone but they are eternally cherished by the creator of this world, our Heavenly Father, our God.
