From youtube comes a powerful video about the murder of Eudy Simelane. She was a South African soccer player and also out lesbian, who was correctively raped and brutally murdered.
More evidence that the fight for lgbt equality and dignity is a worldwide struggle.

Another Horrible DeathThis is yet another horrible death and waste of life. While we seek vengeance through the judicial system it is not the solution to thee social problems of South Africa nor any other country. The people have to make a statement. In life, Eudy Simelane knew that, and was one of the faces that brought that home in her township. We can only hope to be similar examples to our communities and promote equality and the right to life!
Thank you for posting this story. The clip was very well done.
