"The first night I stepped in Joburg I had my first homophobic encounter. I was gripped with fear, anger, and sadness when three rowdy random guys screamed profanities and homophobic slurs in Zulu at us as we passed through the dark street. I thought of the xenophobic attacks rocking South Africa and I knew I dared not answer back, especially in English because that would just mean double trouble for me."
