I am too upset to write about this right now, but want to share this story about the rape and murder of Eudy Simelane, a much admired South African National Team player and lesbian feminist activist:

Rape and Killed for being a Lesbian: South Africa Ignores 'Corrective' Attacks

She was killed last year, her murderers have just been sentenced. Note that one of the women interviewed in this story was assaulted on her way home from football practice. She speaks about her attack in the accompanying video.

I can not get over the men interviewed in the video. They are so unbelievably ignorant and hateful.
