03/14/2009: "Africans demonstrate their high standards of sexual morality"
Lesbians living in South Africa are being raped by men who believe it will 'cure' them of their sexual orientation, a report has revealed.
Women are reporting a rising tide of brutal homophobic attacks and murders and the widespread use of 'corrective' rape as a form of punishment.
The report, commissioned by international NGO ActionAid, called for South Africa's criminal justice system to recognise the rapes as hate crimes as police are reportedly failing to take action over the spiralling violence.
[ I wonder if they get raped any more than the heterosexual women though. Perhaps it's just an excuse that the rape is "corrective" and it's really simply a way to get social approval for indulgence. ]
