Gay Rangers
Yesterday could well have been the saddest day in the history of marriage, as some of us have come to know it, as a religious concept meant to unify heterosexual lovers! And some may argue that Tom and Jerry have as much right to be together as Tom and, say Sue! Bollocks!, I say. Not that my opinion holds much water (as agnostic as some would like to think I am)!
South Africa's very first 'legal' (whatever that means) same-sex wedding ceremony took place in the small town of George, where 2 game/gay rangers exchanged somewhat distorted vows to each other in a court room. How fitting! We have now made our mark as the fifth country in the world to legalise same-sex unions, and the only one in Africa where this is allowed! Are we slowly, but surely moving away from our Africanism, shaping the way for all of Azania's rebellion from it's mother African legacy of partnership between a man and a ('real')woman!? The Law has become an escape for many who would like to change all things bright and beautiful as they please. I would like to see this country become one of the first to legalise sensi (ganja), then we'll be talking!
What I find even more interesting is the fact that popular culture is embracing these rediculous unions! One of our most popular, and liked TV soapies, Isidingo has dedicated more than an episode to "give viewers an insight into gay marriages" and untimately "serve an educating role" in teaching South Africans about homosexuality, by incorporating a gay wedding into their seemingly flexible script. And the goal?: "When people see something on a daily basis through any public medium, such as TV, we know how powerful that is...they get used to it and see it as something normal"! But it's not!
When will this blatant brain-wash cease?
Long live AZANIA...and all that it stands for!

Your hypoCRAZy leaves one almost speechless. what you deem as unAfrican behaviour in your piece reeks of some personal guilt/self-loathing i.e. you have probably been with a woman. There are many 'real woman' and 'real Africans' not educated and not advantaged like yourself who get with other woman. read some historical accounts written by 'real sistas' not middle class moderates like yourself. who talk militancy but live in comfort. by focusing on spaza tings which is a legacy of colonialism (us vs them) we detract from the bigger issue. which is if ur po' u fucked by the shitstem and if you rich your not. which side do u fall on? dont tell me i already know.
yeah, I agree with you my sister. The whole same-sex marriage is absurd. I'm not sure what the reasons for allowing that in SA were. It defies logic.
I know not everyone believes in God, to those people I'd say look to nature. You will never hear of a situation where same sex animals are making out. Not only animals, but all of creation. Human beings are just into changing the natural way of things.
Look at global warming. That is a classic example where human beings are directly involved in changing natural courses.
I'm totally against same-sex marriages.
As SA it seems like we are also just trying to be in the news as a tolerant society. And I'm afraid that is dangerous. Somethings should not be tolerated.
Like you I'd rather have ganja legalised than petty things such as self sex marriages.
