Urgency
WHAT TYPE OF A SYSTEM ARE WE FOLLOWING????????????????
I guess its a question we need to ask ourselves more often. Have we become sheep where another life doesn’t matter to us? Are we following our own paths, make our own choices and be our own person?
Recently six very young gay boys committed suicide because they felt like there was no way for them, which their path was full of judgment, hatred and tormented. Is it normal to rape woman because they are lesbian? What type of religion are people following when they encourage such behaviors?? To who are we suppose to go with questions when our society, ministers, schools and every other system fails us are we going to be target when we are not what other humans want us to be?
So many ask must six boys who killed themselves be considered as heroes for their actions. You now what would people even care if that number rose to six million or billion kids, teens and adults? Why is it that people need to commit suicide before society notices there is a problem within a system?
Are we so blind as not to see what the f is going on? Everyday people get hurt b homophobic attacks and other means of violence. I say we take a stand, we start care about people around us, to show people its okay to be whom they are and that there is a place for everyone on earth. To those who think the planet belong to them think again because that is also being destroyed. Our presidents claim they have authority yet they use it for wrong reasons. Let’s make everyone aware of what is happening.
I will take a stand and for those that choose to live in ignorance remember health, wealth and life is not guaranteed. S when you find yourself in a situation think of those you chose not to help and accept the help and support coming your way.
WE AS HUMANS CAN STAND TOGETHER ONLY BY CHOICE!!!!!
National Coming Out Day 2010

Rainbow UCT's Closet Burns Down
Monday the 4th of October 2010 a tradegy hit the Rainbow UCT society as their "Closet" was set alight and left severly damaged. Here is the statement from Dylan Jack Van Vuuren the outgoing Chair of UCT Rainbow Society:
Dear RainbowUCT
At approximately 22:55pm on Monday 04th October 2010 Rainbow UCT’s “Closet” was set alight and severally damaged after only being on display for less than twelve hours.
The Closet, which was positioned on Jammie Plaza from 13:00pm, was part of a display involving the UCT Campus Pride Pink Week Campaign, an initiative intended to promote LGBTI rights and highlight homoprejudice across the country.
This year the Closet was used to celebrate the country’s achievements in advancing civil rights for homosexuals and highlights the human rights violations that still plague our society. The closet which was painted pink presents instances of discrimination and homeprejudice across the globe. The closet was positioned allowing students and staff members to graffiti the outside with their own responses and views.
Rainbow UCT is deeply concerned about this cowardly act of arson. We are calling for direct action from University Management and request an immediate investigation to be launched in a bid to find those responsible for the act. We request that University Management including Campus Protection Services (CPS) acknowledges that this is a hate crime and an indication of a larger problem found within the UCT Community and broader South African Society which needs to be addressed. Rainbow UCT is committed to working closely with Management and requests anyone with information that could assist in the investigation to contact the relevant authorities.
Rainbow UCT wishes to stress that this incident will not dampen our spirits and Pink Week will continue to take place for the duration of the week. We look forward to seeing you at tomorrow’s event where our speaker Pierre de Vos will be sharing his “Reflections on the right to be different” at 6:30pm in NSLT. This couldn’t be more relevant at this time, so show your support.
See you there
