Homosexual Privileges [1995] ZAConAsmRes 1070 (13 March 1995)

Homosexual Privileges

Thank you for the invitation to the general public to express our view w.r.t. input to the new constitution. I would like to express my unreserved opposition to the legalisation of so-called "gay rights".

Homosexuality is Anti-African, being rejected as anathema by virtually a unanimous Black population, to whom it is totally foreign re their culture. It is anti-democratic, being rejected by every orthodox Jew, Christian and Muslim as an abomination to both God and humankind, i.e. 80% of our nation reject it. It is anti-family, leading to a break-down of the tradition family unit that is meant to foster security and belonging.

Homosexuality is not a victimless lifestyle. It pays or innocent young boys in society, who are seduced and trapped, as new members to this lifestyle are recruited as they themselves cannot produce. It promotes violence in society: the homosexual him/herself open themselves to attack (witness the atrocious killings of homosexuals in our communities), and any "gay-pride" march through Cape Town as Johannesburg will witness the hostile nature of the homosexual.

Homosexuality is a burden on the tax-paying public, whose money is spent on public health services that the medically sordid homosexual lifestyle promotes. Aids, Gonorrhoea, STD, bowel disorders, urinating and defecating over each other, fisting, ringing, sadomasochistic injuries: too large a proportion of those health costs are born by the tax-payers.

No constitutional right is limitless - that can only lead to chaos. Surely one's rights stops when it begins to infringe on someone else's rights. Surely human responsibility must draw the borders around human rights.
