However innocent children should not be exposed to things parents are not happy with.ibwould not like my child to come home to want to have a conversation I’m not comfortable with. I don’t even discuss pregnancy with my child which other people find it okay
Lit children be children and they will have their choices when they grow up

I’m not sure you read the same letter… I don’t think anyone disagrees that the ICJ case was the right thing to do. You’re being purposely obtuse and trying to point-score by using a whataboutism argument.

You say you do not wish to compare, but that is precisely how it comes across. I am curious though, how and where exactly should the Minister address the anti-LGBTI challenges unfolding in Uganda and Ghana? What domestic, regional or international fora do you suggest she approach? For the record, genocide is the worst crime of all crimes, and SA approaching the ICJ for recourse is precisely the right thing to do.
