Citing rising crime rates, gay activists in South Africa are protesting plans to offer bail to the alleged killers of lesbian soccer player Eudy Simelane (pictured). Said members of the End Hate campaign: “[We are particularly] angered that lesbian and bisexual women living in townships and rural communities are victims of curative rape, homophobia and sexual abuse by heterosexual men who exert power over the vulnerable.” [Mamba]
