South African Men trying to cure Lesbians with Corrective Rape.
South Africa: Declare 'Corrective Rape' a Hate-Crime


http://www.change.org/petitions/view/south_africa_declare_corrective_rape_a_hate-crime?alert_id=LhnYAcKWWa_TodHcLEDgM




Please read the article and sign the Petition.

This is an outrage.

"Corrective Rape" is a term used to describe when a male rapes a lesbian with the aim of 'turning' her heterosexual!


In the last 10 years:
*31 lesbian women have been murdered because of their sexuality
*More than 10 lesbians a week are raped or gang raped in Cape Town alone
*150 women are raped every day in South Africa
*For every 25 men accused of rape in South Africa, 24 walk free

1. Corrective rape happens everywhere
It's an unfortunate part of life.

Rape is rape at the end of the day though.

3. Gay marriage is legal in South Africa.
They have to make this abomination illegal.

6. US Armed Forces also wants to cure lesbians with corrective rape
"“My solution would get the distaff part of our homosexual population off our collective ‘Broke Back,’ thus giving straight male GIs a fair shot at converting lesbians and bringing them into the mainstream.” "
