In reply to bruce. Because it is not one big sex party, it is a march for something that really matter. They will never get involved in something that is not purely for fun or sex...

I don’t necessarily have a problem with traditions and cultural beliefs, however when those oppsess and dominate another, there is a huge problem. This was the case with apartheid – dominance at the expense of others. One thing must happen then: either a non descriminatory, non oppressive resolution is saught or the very oppressive, discriminatory, traditions and values need to be abandoned – as was the case with apartheid.

This has been coming for a long time now. Don’t be surprised. Remember that your President and many others would support it, while voices like Mandela’s and Tutu’s are no longer heard.

In reply to overit.

That’s a pathetic attitude overit. What if Mandela had decided to emigrate somewhere instead of fighting apartheid? Every country faces their challenges and its thanks to people who were prepared to take stand who overcame these challenges. You don’t just give up and bugger off – you stay and make a difference. Your attitude makes me ashamed of those of us that have no commitment to this country and to actually getting off their arses and doing something to make things better. Sad, sad…

I was disappointed at Gay Pride 2012. Not the party, that was extremely well supported, but the actual march. It was poorly planned and poorly supported, I thought: have we forgotten so soon what it was like before legalisation? Are we really so naive as to believe that we no longer need to be a visible force, that our battles are over? Apparently we are. Maybe now people will remember what pride was for.

So over this backward bull. Let these blockheads have their country, setting my south african passport alight and taking out my canadian one. Goodbye Africa, goodluck.

I’m sorry, but that was clear…
I live now sinc three years in this country and even in this years i saw it coming. In ten years South Africa will be in the same Situation than Simbabwe…
There hasn’t been a real democratic President since Mandela!
