Five years ago, Tiwonge Chimbalanga and her boyfriend, Steven Monjeza, were arrested after publicly announcing their engagement - they were later freed after an outcry.
Their story was much distorted; much of the gay media doggedly kept calling them a 'gay couple', even when it came out that Tiwonge identified as a woman.
And some Westerners - as per - were rather keen to take the credit for their release, while ignoring the work done by campaigners in Malawi.
Well done gayist neo-colonialists!
Chimbalanga was granted asylum by South Africa, and now lives in Cape Town, but her status will be reviewed next year.
