the girl, who was open about her sexuality, was raped in what seemed to be an act of "corrective rape" on Thursday.
According to activists, lesbian women are often victims of "corrective rape", which is forced sex with a man to "cure" their sexuality.
The department said every South African had the right to express themselves in the sexual orientation of their choice.

How and why has this happened?
And if you reverse it, how is this possible for a gay male?
This seems to be more about males asserting their dominance over the female gender as the males may feel 'deprived' of future sexual encounters.

I hate to break it to you, but in America they rape lesbians too, and with the same mentality. I know this for a fact. Though I will not share here.

I somewhat agree. The rape in and of itself is as tragic and painful to every victim. But I think the difference is societies take on the crime. It victims are belittled to the point that a given society thinks the rape is justified the victim is now a victim twice. Which is why numerous rapes in the US go unreported. The harshness of the trial only makes them twice victims.
