Johannesburg, South Africa – The African National Congress (ANC) must make the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people a “living reality” at its upcoming national conference.
In a statement on Thursday, the Lesbian and Gay Equality Project and the Triangle Project said an open manifesto demanding these rights will be sent to the ANC ahead of the conference, which starts on Sunday in Polokwane.
Phumi Mtetwa, director of the Lesbian and Gay Equality Project, said South Africa faces a “social crisis”, visible in the difference between the rights enshrined in the Constitution and what is happening in practice.
