Citizen Contribution:Nm Orr [1995] ZAConAsmRes 1416 (24 May 1995)

 


24 May 1995

This letter is in support of retaining the Human Sexual Orientation clause that is being debated for inclusion in the final Constitution. I strongly support equality for all the diverse people who live in South Africa. The evidence from the international scientific community strongly suggests that sexuality is genetically determined, and is not about choice.

I feel that South Africa has the opportunity to set the example in the international arena by including the Human Sexuality Orientation Clause, as well as any clause that supports and respects diversity and the dignity of all humans, regardless of their religious, moral, political, or sexual orientation.

Please support the adopting of the Human Sexuality Orientation Clause so that South Africa can show the world that it has learned a valuable lesson from its chequered past.
