6 young women attacked
A group of young lesbians are still reeling from an attack in Gugulethu, Cape Town, which left two of them in hospital.
The group stopped at a petrol station on Sunday after leaving a gay-friendly club when a man charged towards the group without provocation and started punching one of them.
One of the women, 22, said the man looked "angry and energetic, as if he was on drugs".
"He punched her until she was down on the ground. He kicked her in the face until blood trickled down her forehead. He slapped, shoved and punched anyone who tried to intervene... he was so strong, we felt powerless."
According to the report, he shouted: "These f***ing lesbians, we must beat them up until they stop".
The man eventually drove off in his car and the six women opened a case of assault at the Gugulethu police station.
Two of the women ended up in hospital, one of them a matric pupil who wrote an exam despite being injured.
The police were reportedly unable to comment.

As for the matric pupil she must not blame anyone for not passing her matric because she is busy galavanting during the night instead of studying.Askies to the gals, no one has the right to do that to you.

Do some men have any braincells in their big heads? How the hell does he think that blxming a woman into a pulp makes a man more attractive to her? If anything, it is going to re-enforce her desire to avoid males completely.Some people should be shot for the good of the genetic pool

What is wrong with 'some' males that they cannot accept that some people are gay or lesbian?Do they really think that 'corrective rape' and beating the h*ll out of someone with a different sexual orientation will change them? Make them like them more or, whatever?
Are they so threatened and insecure about their OWN sexuality that they have to behave like absolute neanderthals?
Grow up and get on with your own lives - clearly something is seriously lacking!!

This is the same place where suspected criminals are hunted down and killed like animals right under the noses of the police. Now , innocent women are killed simply because they are lesbians.The Province is led by the party that has chosen to defend the Constitution by hook or croock and yet they fail to maintain law and order in the Townships.
Is this because it is African lives that are being lost here ?

Men who beat up lesbians are actually those morons who are struggling to accept their own gay feelings bottled inside them............Report Abuse
