Ukufikelela kwi-LGBT yoKhenketho kunye noShishino lwezoKhenketho elona gunya liphezulu kolu shishino lithethe nabaphulaphuli abapheleleyo bokuzimasa amalungu e-IGLTA ngevidiyo namhlanje.
Oku kukubhalwa kwentetho kaTaleb Rifai:
Egameni loMbutho wezoKhenketho weHlabathi, i-arhente ekhethekileyo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo kwezokhenketho, ndithanda ukunamkela nonke kwiNgqungquthela yeHlabathi yoNyaka ka-2017 ye-IGLTA.
Ndiyaxolisa ukuba andinakukujoyina buqu ndibekhona nawe ngalo msitho, njengoko izibophelelo zangaphambili bezindibambezela kuwe.
Ndinqwenela ukubulela i-IGLTA, eyona ixabiswa kakhulu UNWTO Ilungu leNdibaniselwano, kwaye ngakumbi uMongameli wayo olungileyo uJohn Tanzella ngenkxaso yabo eyomeleleyo kunye nokubandakanyeka okusebenzayo kunye UNWTO.
Ukutyhubela iminyaka, IGLTA kunye UNWTO baye banandipha ulwalamano olomeleleyo oluneziqhamo kunye, olwakhelwe kumbono ofanayo wokhenketho olungenazithintelo nalucalucalulo.
Ndikholisekile kakhulu kananjalo, ukuba UNWTO kunye ne-IGLTA baye badibanisa amandla kwakhona ukuvelisa le Ngxelo yesiBini yeGlobal kwi-LGBT Tourism kwaye ndifuna ukubulela apha, kwesi sihlandlo, bonke abo baye bafaka isandla kolu phando lubaluleke kakhulu.
Bahlobo bam abathandekayo, ukhenketho lwe-LGBT sisixhobo esinamandla sophuhliso lwezoqoqosho. Ikwabonelela ngokwazisa kuluntu lwe-LGBT kwaye inika indawo igama lokwamkelwa, ukubandakanywa, kunye neyantlukwano ebafaneleyo.
Eli candelo liguqukayo liyanda ukubonisa indawo enkulu yamathuba ebonelela ngeendawo zokufikela.
Umceli mngeni uya kuhlala uhlala uqonde ukhenketho lwe-LGBT ngaphandle kokucinga njalo.
Ukuzibandakanya nokhenketho lwe-LGBT lithuba elibalulekileyo lokwazisa, nokuphakamisa ilizwi lethu nokumelana nalo naluphi na uhlobo lwocalucalulo kwicandelo lethu, kuluntu lwethu nakwilizwe lethu.
Bahlobo bam abathandekayo, njengokuba sibhiyozela uNyaka wamaZwe woPhuhliso oluZinzileyo lowama-2017, ndimema umntu ngamnye ukuba abe ngunozakuzaku wokuqondana nokuhlonitshwa kwamalungelo oluntu jikelele. Sisonke, ndiyathemba ukuba siza kubumba icandelo lezokhenketho eliquka konke, elinyamezelayo kumntu wonke.
Ndiyabulela kuni nonke ngesi sihlandlo kwaye ndininqwenelela okuhle kodwa.
Enkosi.
