In reply to DeeJ. little boy twala. You know, twala, there would've been a time in the past when we would've felt threatened by scum like you. But not anymore. You are nothing but a scared little boy, crying in the corner because you feel threatened by progress. It's sad to realise that you actually exist in the same space as the rest of us. It's time you stopped throwing temper tantrums like a two year-old and grow up!!

In reply to Twala Sedana. @ twala. Then why are you visiting a gay website? Were you cruising? Checking for msgs on your dating profile? Or are you J.Q. in disguise? My guess is probably all the above.

It is people (and I use that word loosely) like you who are a disgrace

In reply to Twala Sedana. wow. hey twala,
naturally the gay community will not question a ruling...no...and of course every ruling is the correct ruling. we should never question authority or judgment and just blindly accept.
especially because we now know that the ombudsman and jon qwelane are in fact friends from way back when. but you're right... he's ruled, so he must be right.

what infallible logic. and what poetic and original terms you use to describe gays.

what an honour to have you on this site...although it's somewhat unclear what you're looking for here. that aside, welcome! i look forward to many more intellectually stimulating and thought provoking comments from you.

Ombudsman ruled against holpompers.. There you have it! It wasnt hate speech. The columnist did not do anything wrong. After-all, gays are worst then goats. Holpompers are not welcome in South Africa!!

recuse. call me crazy, but if there’s a direct conflict of interest, surely the ombudsman should’ve recused himself…
i mean a judge wouldn’t be allowed to rule on a case where his best mate was the defendant?

Equality???. This is a list of clever excuses. I say we as a gay community stand up for what we believe and boycott Press Ombudsman as far as we can. We hit back where it hurts. We are a much bigger community than what people think and much more powerful and wealthy than most people think too!

Conflict of interests?!?!. A few people have implied that the Ombudsman’s judgment on this issue has been influenced by his friendship with JQ. If it is indeed so, then should he be allowed to even handle this complaint at all? I think NOT. We are back at square one! I guess it increasingly pays to have friends in high places in our new rainbow nation! I am so frustrated! Why is it so difficult to get justice in this country?

Re: Respond in kind. Bratt, I agree with you – some people are apparantly more equal than others…

Respond in Kind. I would suggest a mamba reporter use qwelane’s tirade as the basis of a new article, except substituting gays with black people and then see the outcry!
