LESBIANS in South Africa are being dragged off the street and raped to "correct" them, it has been claimed. ky News has found evidence of widespread abuse against the lesbian community, resulting in a new trend of so-called "corrective rape."

In the the township of Khayelitsha on the outskirts of Cape Town, a group of women said they live in fear for their lives. All of them claim to know someone who has been violently dragged off the street and raped because she had come out as a lesbian.

" There is always that threat that you are going to be raped so you can become a 'real' woman,"

But what shocked her even more was the attitude of the police.

Does this work? If so, is it covered under obamacare?

Gee Africa again, if not the Arab countries it is this hell hole. How tiresome...

As opposed to the women who are just raped in SA, “the rape capital of the world’ or the infants and toddlers that are raped to cure aids.

Here we go again with the victimization of homosexuals. Can we have a collective cry now?

[stuartcr]

‘Correct’ 2 birds with 1 stone...make gay men rape gay women.

These women are probably just being caught up in the general rape furor of South Africa. That they are lesbos has very little to do with them being raped.

In south africa, I don’t think lesbian, straight, young, old, ugly, pretty matters at all. Rape is bigger than football as their national sport

Yeah, but it's a handy excuse if they're caught: "I was just trying to do her a favor!"

But is it “’Rape’ rape” according to Whoopi?

[all the best]

South Africa has turned into a hell hole of epic proportions. But it is all so politically correct and they have a soccer team (as per commercials for Matt Damon’s new movie) so no problem.

[Eagles6]

Yeah, doesn’t appear that they need much of a reason to rape a woman in SA.

[rogue yam]

It seems like once or twice a year the South Africans come up with a brand new excuse for rape.

It’s the only innovation that happens there anymore.

Paging Matt Damon, paging Morgan Freeman, paging Clint Eastwood, waiting..... waiting.

Safe

[dfwgator]

She’s so ugly, two guys broke into her apartment, and when she cried out “RAPE!”, they both yelled, “NOOOOOOOO!”

[Zionist Conspirator]

Do Nelson Mandela and his hippie supporters know about this?

[Responsibility2nd]

Corrective rape?

 

Ummmmmm, I'll pass

 

 

 

 

[sportutegrl]

I think in South Africa ‘lesbian’ means ‘girl who won’t go out with me.’
