THE FIRST GAY PRI MARCH IS HELD SOUTH AI
Origs of opposn towards homosexualy and history of homosexualy wh Ain society. Most nomatns of Christiany rejected homosexualy sce was emed the Bible to be unnatural and a s: "Levic 18:22 do not lie wh a man as one li wh a woman; that is ttable. " One n argue that opposn towards homosexualy South Ai stems om relig tradn.
There is evince that pre-lonial Ain societi accepted homosexualy on a suatnal basis. Homosexual acts were referred to as hlobongo amongst the Zulu and metsha amongst the Ngoni (Sanrs, 1997). A veat ncerng Ain society's views towards homosexualy, was that gay acts were ndoned, while lbianism was nmned (Sanrs, 1997).
Acrdg to this relig iology, homosexualy was unnatural and immoral (Mar, 2008). Therefore, is safe to assume that the natnalist ernment would have taken an anti-homosexualy stance, which would have fluenced policy. In keepg wh the grandse rhetoric of Aikaner natnalism, the apartheid ernment believed that if South Ai wanted to avoid the fat of ancient Rome, and Greece, mt mata s Christian pury and avoid homosexual bchery, sce sexual viance would lead to the downfall of South Ai (Retief, 1995).
