The need to hold celebrities accountable for their utterances
Share
The South African LGBTQI+ community is facing many challenges with regards to hate crimes and murders.
For several weeks the queer community has been protesting and mourning the senseless deaths of Sphamandla Khoza, Andile Ntuthela, Lonwabo Jack and many others.
Queerphobia in the country is at a high in South Africa and it is resulting in murders purely based on someone’s gender identity and sexual orientation.
Many queer voices have been speaking out not only against the hate crimes but also regarding the discourse on platforms such as TV, radio, podcasts and social media about how homophobic and transphobic comments from cisgender heterosexual individuals are at the root of these crimes.
