South Africa has had a tumultuous human rights history, but even before reversing course with the elimination of apartheid, penning the worlds first constitution to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and being among the first nations to legalize same-sex marriage, South Africa was a popular gay travel destination. Since these history-making events, South Africa has become even more popular with both straight and gay travelers. As Africas most gay-friendly country, South Africa enjoys a thriving gay culture that spans the country from Gauteng with its exhilarating nightlife to the exquisite beaches of Western Cape and continues to grow as an enticing gay vacation destination.

Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria are popular stops during South Africa gay vacations and each offers a variety of gay-friendly and gay-centered activities, establishments and events. Gay men who enjoy the scene will be particularly pleased with the vast array of establishments that cater exclusively to gay men, such as luxury guest houses that provide lodgings exclusively to gay men, the famous bathhouses found in Cape Town and the private, all-male nude bar, Camp David, in Pretoria.

Arrive, Raise Hell.

Answer:
No he hanged himself and murdered his wife and child. I see you dieing from a gay std though.

please give me a good explaination as to why your picking the team to win. ill give you my pick ima say Cavs and Magic in the eastern conference finals. with the Cavs winning it in 6. LeBron is just too much. Im gonna go with the Lakers and Nuggets. Although i could see the Lakers being bounced out of the playoff by Portland who has given the Lakers a tough time this season. but anyway Lakers Nuggets in the western conference finals so i got Lakers/Cavs in a finals matchup that im sure people are dying to see I dislike Kobe and LeBron very much, but this is going to go down. im gonna go with the Cavs to win it all. Lakers will choke yet again. LeBron will take away Kobe’s “best player” title. the end.

Answer:
the obvious pick is the lakers- but not so fast. you may not realize it, but the portland trailblazers are most likely the second best team in the west, their only problem is inexperience, they have all the talent to beat the lakers- as they proved in their two wins at home vs the lakers this season (one was a blow out). I dont think the lakers could beat portland in the rose garden (they have lost 9 straight) so if the blazers can win ONE game on the road- they could win the NBA championship after getting by the lakers- the spurs arent much of a threat and the nuggets are just gay and have too many tough guys on their team looking for individual glory rather than team glory. If your looking for good money or your bets: bet on the blazers.
