Yaya Mavundla shares thoughts on LGBTQ+ hate crimes

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, multi-award-winning transgender activist and seasoned media personality Yaya Mavundla said society needs to treat crime as crime. She said:

"It is important for society to see and treat any crime as any other crime. The victims should never be questioned about how they contributed to the crime just because society feels the LGBTIQ+ people owe it to society to always be upfront about their being, if society treated the queer community fairly with respect and kindness, the LGBTIQ+ community would've never found themselves in fear of living their truth openly and boldly. Society needs to do better."
