In the newspaper article written by Nico De Jager titled “Pride is a heavy price to pay”,1
the author talks about discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. According to
this article:
“At least 20 LGBTQIA+ [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual
plus] individuals were brutally killed across South Africa between February and
October [2021] when the country witnessed an increase in the number of attacks
against lesbians, gays and transgender people. Many of the victims were beaten or
stabbed to death. Evidently, these victims were targeted because of their sexual
orientation and gender identity.”
The article further indicates that:
“As a society firmly entrenched in patriarchy and misogyny, many South Africans still
perceive LGBTQIA+ individuals as inherently immoral and/or “un-African” and
therefore pay little attention to the violence that they endure daily. This is indicative of
the work that needs to be done in changing societal attitudes in our communities.”
Read the following article and then answer the questions set out below:
1.1 Despite the rights of LGBTQI+ having constitutional and legislative protection,
members of this community are still victimised in South Africa, with some critics
(as noted above) viewing homosexuality as immoral. One of the consistent debates
in legal philosophy has been the relationship between law and morality. Discuss
how legal positivists and natural-law philosophers view this relationship. Your
answer should not exceed 1000 words. (20)
