WHILE Pride Month is one to celebrate the queer community and its achievements through the years, this year is a little different. With members of the LGBTQIA+ community increasingly being targeted by hate crimes over the last few months, and many being killed simply for being queer, there is not much to celebrate in Mzansi. However, there is a light at the end of every tunnel. Here are some messages from some of Mzansi’s biggest queer content creators on TikTok.
Chelsea Keta TikTok Handle: @slimgirlsupreme The recent escalation of hate crimes has been extremely concerning and we are calling on everyone to intervene. We also call upon everyone to help, learn and protect members of the LGBTQIA+ so everyone is afforded a future in their lives. LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights, we have the right to live our lives as free people without being objected to hate crimes.
