‘I am not homophobic’: SARA president opposes ‘forced gay rights’ on children in schools

The South African Rainbow Alliance says it wants social order in schools and opposes what it describes as harmful laws.

“SARA policy vehemently rejects introduction of transgender and gay propaganda in schools, SARA doesn’t want gay or LGBTQ rights forced on our children at schools through, especially, the BELA BILL. SARA government will introduce Godly principles and prayer back in schools. Our religious beliefs and children’s development is more important than indecency in dress code and gay social issues,” Makhubele said in a statement.

Makhubele said SARA will introduce new policies to help school governing bodies to set dress codes. She advocates disciplinary procedures to regulate what students can— and cannot — wear to school to avoid the “current inappropriate dress codes” that often “sexualise particularly black girls” and “criminalise black boys” with sagging indecent pants.

On the other hand, Kellyn Botha an LGBTQI+ legal researcher said she found SARA’s views on sexuality as being problematic.
