GETTING TO GRIPS
WITH LGBTIQA - xyz
FLAGS
Cape Town Pride has just happened and we now look forward to the
country’s other pride celebrations - Durban Pride, Jo’burg, Pretoria
and Soweto Prides, Limpopo Pride, Nelson Mandela Bay Pride and of
course the Pink Loerie’s all later in the year. Apart form the Gay rainbow pride flag you may see a whole lot of others and wonder what or
whom they represent ... Some indicate one’s sexual orientation, whilst
others represent a persons gender identity or romantic attraction
...The world seems to be far more complicated than some of us think!
