THE FIRST GAY PRI MARCH IS HELD SOUTH AI

This is a full set for the gay muny support of the gay buddi. Joburg Pri anisers have acced the activists of ambhg a well-n event, behavg liberately provotively orr to make a stir, and mtg the rdal s of airg the gay muny's dirty lndry full view of all the heterosexuals. But such a spat has been buildg for some time, and the as is simply showg up muny divis which have been there all activist Ey Craven's highly readable paper, "Racial inty and racism the gay and lbian muny post-Apartheid South Ai", provis a eful ntext for Saturday's events.

"Jt bee two people are gay, a untry as divid as South Ai, do not mean there will be any meangful siari between their liftyl. The travails of a rich whe gay man are unlikely to match the stggl faced by a black lbian an rmal settlement.

To even speak of a gay "muny" here, though may be polilly expedient to imply uny, is probably misleadg. Gay pri events around the world normally have a dual foc: part party, part polics. Craven's paper (which draws heavily on Mark Gevisser's rearch) remds that this stance is not unprecented wh the history of South Ain gay rights: the first major gay anisatn, the Gay Associatn of South Ai (GASA), lnched 1982, was apolil.

They were, fact, expelled om the Internatnal Gay and Lbian Associatn 1987 for refg to nmn Apartheid.

It was reactn agast GASA that the Gay and Lbian Organisatn of the Wwatersrand (GLOW) was started by activists cludg Simon Nkoli. They marched for gay rights, but they marched also to prott agast the wir regime: "Dyk for mocracy", read one poster, and "Lbians and gays agast Apartheid".

Speakg at that event, Simon Nkoli said: "I am black and I am gay…In South Ai I am opprsed bee I am a black man, and I am opprsed bee I am gay. Whe gay boys want to have fun; they want to drk". By the late '90s, what was origally the "Lbian and Gay Pri March" had bee the "Gay and Lbian Pri Para", Craven not, wh listg promence given to gays rather than lbians, and the distctly polil-soundg "march" replaced wh the much more fun-lovg "para".

Zoo Lake has self no particular racial baggage, sce was a non-racial space Apartheid, and has a gay nnectn as a once-popular cisg zone, but s lotn the suburb of Rosebank is taken as evince by groups like One Ne that Pri is now primarily tend for rich whe qutn of where Pri should be held is extribly lked to how the functn of Pri is perceived. "The arguments around the ph for a change of venue have always gone hand hand wh the bat around whether Pri is supposed to be a polil march or a celebratory para, " wr Craven; "the choice to walk areas that are generally gay-iendly and non-threateng ntrasts wh the notn of Pri as an attempt to claim ntted space". In Rosebank, the argument go, marchers are preachg to the nverted – 's a liberal area wh lots of gay rints.

Mbandazayo qutns whether a group of gay whe men stagg some sort of flash-mob would have received the same aggrsive rponse at Pri as her group of black lbian protters. "Pri needs to speak directly to the re issu of South Ain gay people, and their experienc of vlence, " Mbandazayo said. We'll be watchg closely: while this may seem a gay-specific issue, many ways the nttatn around Pri is a microsmic reprentatn of the wir South Ain problem.
