Do we care about LGBTQ foreign nationals?
13.04.2022 - 18:03 / mambaonline.com
I recently found myself part of a group process developing a resource around addressing xenophobia and Afrophobia and looking at the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. This work has exposed me to young people on the continent and their ideas around addressing these issues.
As the process unfolded, I found myself wondering; do we, as South African LGBTQ people, care about the rights and well-being of other LGBTQ people from other parts of the continent who are in this country for any number of reasons?
Xenophobia and the rights of foreign nationals, particularly other Africans, have been topical issues for some time. During the last election season, we saw one political party publicly and proudly campaign on their promise to rid the county of illegal immigrants. This political party, performed surprisingly well in the elections, which suggests that there are indeed people who agree with efforts to kick illegal foreign nationals out of the country.
Some of the reasons that are said to inform this sentiment, are the lack of jobs and fears around safety, security and crime. (How these crimes are solely perpetrated by foreign nationals, beats me.)
LGBTQ people from other parts of the continent often come to South Africa because of our famous sexuality and gender protections and respect for human rights. As many African countries still criminalise homosexuality and there is social stigma around identifying as LGBTQ, they leave their countries of birth in the hopes of finding a life in which their rights will be protected, and their dignity upheld. South Africa has branded itself as a haven of sorts, but the truth is, it is anything but a haven.
So, do we as queer people care about the realities of LGBTQ Africans from

Historic Comedy Store, Birthplace of Comedians David Letterman, Jim Carrey and More, Turns 50
Todd Gilchrist The Comedy Store turns 50 this year, and it’s now known as a storied birthplace for the careers of literally hundreds of comedians — from David Letterman to Jim Carrey to Whoopi Goldberg to Sebastian Maniscalco.The late co-founder and longtime owner Mitzi Shore always envisioned the historic institution on L.A.’s Sunset Boulevard as an “artists colony,” a protected enclave where young talent could grow without worrying about money, consequently she mostly didn’t either.When Peter Shore came to Los Angeles in 2002 from Portland, Ore., to keep an eye on the business while his mother, Mitzi, convalesced, he and Bob Wheeler, the Store’s chief financial officer, would spend the next 10 years correcting the questionable decisions made decades in the past. “It is really just about preserving the place by any means necessary,” Shore tells Variety.Shore, who rarely agrees to interviews, was driven as much by how important the place is to thousands of comics who have come through its doors over the past five decades, and the millions of audiences that came night after night to see them, as it was to his mother, who passed away in 2018 at age 87.
