Dan Rather Reports, Excerpt from Corrective Rape

Dan Rather Reports, March 1, 2011 at 8pm ET on HDNetFifteen years after the end of apartheid, South Africa is struggling to implement the laws in its progressive constitution. Gays and lesbians in South Africa have more rights than many gay Americans, but that's doesn't mean they are safe. Lesbians are often the victims of corrective rape -- a horrific crime where men sexually violate them in an effort to "correct" or "cure" their sexual orientation. Several non-governmental organizations claim corrective rape is on the rise, fuelled mostly by a growing homophobia in Africa.

I take a biblical stance when it comes to homosexuality (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). But Just as with any gross sin we all can change and God accepts that. The bible does not saction anyone being killed or raped for their lifestyle. Such an act would be presumptuous
