As the homosexual debate rages on, I am literally pulling my hair out right now. I sincerely wish we all could just snap out of it already and just let everyone get on with their lives, mind our own business. It is now getting to a point where it’s both disturbing and very annoying. As a country we have many unimaginable problems; drought, failing students, HIV/AIDS, road accidents, high unemployment rate, crime, people with drinking disorders and cattle roaming freely in the streets of Gaborone. Lately horses and donkeys have found their way into town too. A handful of gay people cannot and shouldn’t be among those if we are really talking ‘problems’.
I know with this one I am going to rub a couple of people the wrong way. Look, I am as straight as they come, straight as the Kgalagadi highway; that is if it is still straight like it used to. But I just don’t get this brouhaha over homosexuals. As far as I am concerned, someone being straight or gay doesn’t change the price of bread, most importantly it does not affect anyone’s life, it won’t fill Gaborone dam. What people do in their own private spaces should never be anyone’s business.
