corrective rape

This is a term used to refer to raping someone who is homosexual to "cure them" of their sexual orientation.We had numerous cases over the years where gays and lesbians are raped to be cured.This is a result of illiteracy among ethnic groups as they frame homosexuality as a sin from religion and cultural point of view.South Africa has one of the most advanced constitutions in the world that protects gays and lesbians.But the media and government are not doing enough to campaign against homophobia by implemanting educational programmes and news stories that will Frame homosexuality in  positive way.People model what they see in the media and if it is framed in a positive way people will end up accepting it.It is about time the media play its part to end the negative stereotypes against homosexuality.

  3. I think these men forget that homosexuality is not a crime, and they also forget that rape is a crime. You cannot change someone or force them to be something that they not.

  5. I totally disagree with you guys. Real men do rape, I mean after all who the people that rape? Isn't it men? The thing is you should be saying heartless men rape and genle me do not rape. Do not bring in the question of real or not.

  7. @ sizzle once a man starts raping he already lost the standards and the right of being called a real man..let's forget about biology and start focusing on humanity,ethics and principles.

  9. YES, REAL MEN DON'T RAPE. Now those men who rape homosexuals and then turn around and justify it as "curing them from their disease" is total madness. They should be locked up and rot in jail. @sizzle..I DISAGREE WITH YOU. A real man won't rape a lesbian and turn around to say that its a cure, that is total bull. A real man knows his standards and boundries!!!

  10. we can't constantly blame the media for acts of individuals, the media does try to get people to understand other peoples preferences but no one seems to be listening.
