Question 1 Read the following article and then answer the questions below: 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.”
1.1 Despite the rights of LGBTQIA+ 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)
