I don’t think we want everyone to love and accept us, although there really is nothing with wanting this – we, after all, love and accept heterosexuals as a group. This is about the fact that freedom of expression is not an unlimited right, and does not extend to hate speech. Qwelane’s article clearly fell within the ambit of hate speech, both in terms of s 16 of the Constitution and PEPUDA. I commend the SAHRC for taking a stand against this hate speech – it’s time we as LGBTIQ stop being treated as second-class citizens because of our sexual diversity.

This is SA,we all have rights,it’s called freedom of speech! And that is exactly what Jon exercised. The problem with the community is that we want everyone to love and accept us. That,unfortunately,is impossible!

He can still be prosecuted. It is misleading to give the impression that “he got away with it”.
