Despite a constitutional ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation and its being one of only six nations where same-sex couples can marry, South Africa remains deeply homophobic, a new survey has found.
The Human Sciences Research Council's annual South African Social Attitudes Survey, released Nov. 24, found that 80 percent of respondents think gay sex is wrong.
