Wow, truly scary ignorant crap on those pages… most of those morons can’t even spell or put two sentences correctly! Yes I have reported them, I wonder why Facebook is dragging their feet?

Christina Engela and Cobus Fourie are amazing, dedicated activists and people I admire very much. They do incredible work and we are fortunate to have them on our side.

I thought about that, but even Christina (and her SA GLAAD colleague Cobus Fourie) have called for people to report these groups.

I agree that while they’re available, the groups offer an opportunity to refute, repudiate, and shame the legislation’s supporters.

But I disagree that people who openly espouse violence should be hosted by a privately owned site that claims to oppose the misuse of its premises for such activity.

But also Michael, many people have joined it and made a mockery of the site. I am wondering whether to do the same: it might be a good idea for people to join it and just completely spam it,or fill it with support for LGBT people. Whoever ‘Christina Engela’ is I don’t know, but I’d buy her a drink or two for taking on these bigots on this page…..
