What is right wing about COSATU's position??? ''The oppresion of homosexuals is not merely or even primarily the result of narrow mdindedness. Homosexuals continue to be oppressed by Capitalist law. Widespread bigotry of this is fundamentally conditioned by the institution of family unit, the main social source of oppression of women... and homosexuals in class society, and by the considerable power of organized religion''...to me COSATU's view was cautioning us, I dont believe because they agree with right wind therefore they cant be trusted, again we must dismiss COSATU based on it's views and stop labelling them. I'm interested on the SACP's view on the matter, as a vanguard.
