It's common in first term to feel as if you, being the feisty, excited and intelligent lil party animal Rhodent that you are, are living in a bubble... away from civilization, and anything else outside the world of Rhodes. So we're here to try and burst that bubble, and make you feel more like a rhodent than a goldfish!!

Dear East Rand Homo-Hater
I have a few things to say to you:
1) go back to the East Rand where ignorant, narrow-minded STUPID and religious-crazy individuals live (i have nothing against your religious beliefs, but find your intolerance levels dangerously high)
2) Why did you come to the most liberal and accepting university in the country? you clearly belong else where (i'm sure a nice little technical college in a klein dorpie would do it)
3) Shut up - although i am straight, i am shocked that you would dare to post something so blatantly homophobic and narrow minded on your blog. i am not only hurt that there is someone like you at Rhodes, but appalled that you would have made it this far at such a liberal institution.
please, in future keep your sad little comments to yourself and your narrow-minded community - South Africa does not need individuals like you who are clearly paddling against the current and going straight back into our discriminatory past.
Regards

Hi Meg
Although I did not write that blog post, I did take offense to the fact that you said "East Rand where ignorant, narrow-minded STUPID and religious-crazy individuals live"
I completely support human rights and I have nothing agaisnt people who are gay. In fact, i support it, because they are standing up for themselves in a somewhat non-accepting society, which I think is a very brave thing to do.
BUT i come from the East Rand. And you made an assumption against anyone who comes from there, calling us STUPID etc which I think really wasn't fair for you to do so. It is then just as bad as my blogging group member having a problems with anyone who is gay.
I'm not trying to start an uproar or anything, I just want to show you the other side of the coin.
Kind Regards
