KwaZulu-Natal Principal Zweli Mkhize has defended the Zulu monarch against accusations of homophobic slurs he is supposed to have made at the weekend.

Speaking at the provincial legislature on Tuesday, Mkhize lashed out at the media, saying it was so starving for controversy that it had to create its own stories.

“He spoke about how, in the old times when men went to war leaving their wives behind, they did not end up abusing each other sexually,” said Mkhize

He went on to say he did not see why, in this constitutional country, people did not think of asking for the recording of the expression to confirm what was said before commenting or talking about a public outcry.

The monarch is alleged to have called gay people “rotten” while presenting a address during the 133th commemoration of the battle of Isandlwana at Inquthu, in the north of KwaZulu-Natal at the weekend.

Many people reading my blog may already be apprised of the falsehood of Bryce Faulkner, a youthful man who as far as we separate has been coerced to reject his boyfriend and devote oneself to an ex-gay program somewhere in the US. I wrote about Bryce’s state of affairs here .

Many people have expressed their vex and touch through blog comments and by joining a Facebook assemblage in reinforcement of Bryce. The feature is distressing and obscene and should not chance in this day and age when it is positive that one can be gay and timely and in good. Fearful and unconsciousness cloud the minds of ministers and parents turning them into tyrants of LGBT young people.

In several blog entries and comments I see references to the epic of Zach Quail, who when he was 16 back in 2005 had been studied to look out for the Dearest in Spirit Bolt-hole program for minors.  While parts Zach’s and Bryce’s stories correspond (they both go from the Mid-South with rigorous parents and superficially were not conflicted about their sexuality before it became an exit for their parents), there is one key nature.
