IT seems
President Mugabe’s call to shun homosexuality is falling on deaf ears following
the increased number of homosexuality cases in the country.
In Harare along Five Avenue every night at dusk, one sees
quite a number of men manning five avenue street which according to Hararians
is a replica of Sodom and Gomorrah. The men are believed to be of gay
oriantsati9on and the trade seem to be paying up for them due to its hide and
seek nature.
A Gays and Lesbians Association (GALZ) Representative who
spoke on grounds of anonymity said the gay people deserve the right to express
their love and affection just like anyone else who is believed to be of normal
orientation.
“We also want to be heard and respected in society, we are
what we are not gay by choice but we
were born like this. If the so called normal couples can show affection in
public why can’t we?” said the official.
Early last year, two homosexual hideouts, Book Café and
Manennberg were shut down by town authorities after residents in the
neighbourhood had raised alarm over the continued indecency gays and lesbians
were displaying in public.
