why the fuck are the DA trying to take over gay pride marches around the country? fuck you, this is not a party platform or electioneering opportunity.
They were protesting against the ANC government’s reluctance to get involved with what is happening in Uganda (following recent anti-gay legislation). At least the DA is trying to show that they are a party that stands for the promotion of equal rights. I think it was very wise of them to get involved. I was there this weekend and they they never tried to push anyone to vote for them or something.
um, they painted the whole parade blue and slapped a DA logo on it. Sure they’re not looking for gay votes?
also, are there any black people in cape town?
At the street fair, see the pictures !. some people are such tjops
Get a life ROB!
I have a life, dude, and I’m using a few minutes of it to express my disdain that the DA sees fit to co-opt gay pride in order to canvass for votes. This is a divisive activity which is the polar opposite of what pride, in theory, is supposed to be about – unity. Like, why the fuck am I looking at a picture of Tim Harris? Granted he is hot, but really, what is he doing there?! Is he the DA’s straight bait?
get a life Rob
eat me
mmmm i think that’s “bite me!”
Rob please, keep your racist comments to yourself. You’d never know a good thing if it stood right in front of you. Get an education and stop being negative. It’s people like you that prevent this country from moving on. Open your eyes……the time is now, nobody is really interested in the venom you are spewing. The DA want nothing but the best for SA and it’s about time we support them and see that what they are doing is all good.
racist! haha. good one davina. care to answer to the subject of my criticism? no, thought not.
