Gay slapped

Ever since Cher invented the slap in , the open-handed strike has been one of the most versatile moves it pop culture. It can be shocking, pithy, funny, insulting, emotional, and so very. "Hard Slapping & Spit Domination" starts with an oppressive atmosphere, before some twisted dialogue leads into the drop. Relentless kicks then punish you, with fx and vocals spinning around.

A cruel homophobe borrowed a gay man’s cellphone in a Manhattan subway station — then slapped the kindhearted straphanger after seeing a background picture of the victim with his boyfriend. But, he then unexpectedly slapped me across the table! I didn't even get an apology, all I got was "I had to check for myself". Did the cane not give it away?

Or the fact you had two separate warnings about my condition? This is now the second date in my life to strike me to "just be sure". That man got slapped tf up boy Sponsored by Strikers Soccer Center. The assault of a woman by Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training Mduduzi Manana after she called him gay smacks of homophobia — by both of those involved. Manana is accused of attacking and beating Mandisa Duma and another woman in the early hours of Sunday morning at the Cubana restaurant and cocktail lounge in Johannesburg.

It also reflects the deeply entrenched and widespread homophobia in our culture; seemingly displayed by both parties. His recorded audio statement suggests that the mere act of being described as gay is justification for violence against another individual. Manana must face the full might of the law, and few would publicly argue that he is fit for office. He must immediately resign or be fired.

Duma on the other hand, although the unambiguous victim in this attack, also needs to be challenged.

SLAPPED BY HIS FATHER

If she did indeed call Manana gay, it remains to be confirmed , it is highly unlikely she intended this as a compliment in the midst of the argument. She used the hate and stigma behind homophobia in an attempt to sting and hurt Manana. In that sense they are both complicit in perpetuating the second-class status of LGBT people.

Being gay is perceived as a shameful, humiliating and immoral identity. Lesbian women whose lack of attraction to male virility is perceived as emasculating and those whose gender appearance subverts the norm are the most at risk of rape and murder. I am not aware of Manana or Duma addressing the homophobia involved in the assault. They should also apologise to the LGBT community.

Our identity is not an insult or a justification for violence. Stop using it and treating it as such. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Deputy Minister Mduduzi Manana. Get the Mamba Newsletter Email.
