"Bengingazizwa ngingakhululekile noma abantu abayinqaba bengangibheki nokungibuka," kusho lo mfana oneminyaka engu-31 etshela abantu. "Abantu bebenganakile nje ngoba wumashi wabesifazane."

Kodwa ngemuva kokufaka isithombe sakhe encelisa phambi kwabantu, abantu abaningi baphawule bethi akufanelekile futhi akuphephile enganeni, nokuyinto exakayo uma kubhekwa izimo.

Embhalweni wakhe, uHolliday uchaze ngesinqumo sakhe sokuncelisa ingane yakhe ibele ngokuthi indodana yakhe "ibilambile futhi ... imemeza ngoba ibikhathele ngokweqile futhi nesixuku besimthwalise kanzima." Kepha ngokweqiniso, bekungafanele nokuthi aze azichaze kwasekuqaleni.

"Ngicabanga ukuthi ukuphawula kuwubuwula, ngenxa nje yendawo engikuyo nangenxa yokuthi ngivikelekile ngaphansi komthetho waseCalifornia nezinye izifundazwe eziningi ukuthi ngincelise," waqhubeka etshela ABANTU. "Bengingaqondile ukwenza isitatimende, kodwa kuthe uma ngibona isithombe ngabona ukuthi sinamandla kangakanani, ikakhulukazi njengoba benciphisa uxhaso ezinhlelweni eziningi ezeseka abesifazane nomama."

Futhi yize kungaba kuhle uma besihlala emhlabeni lapho abesifazane bekungadingeki ukuthi banikeze incazelo ngokukhetha ukuncelisa ingane yabo ibele, uHolliday uqinisekise abazondayo ukuthi akazange abeke indodana yakhe engcupheni nokuthi wayengalindelanga inani labavoti libe likhulu njengoba lalinjalo. Abagqugquzeli babelinganiselwa ku-80,000 abamashi e-LA, kodwa isamba sasilinganiselwa ku-750,000.

"Bengifuna ngempela ukuthatha uBowie ngoba bekungumlando, futhi bengifuna abe yingxenye yawo," usho njalo. "Ubengekho engozini nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Bekuphephile, bekunokuthula, angikaze ngizizwe nginovalo."

Ngokujabulisayo, kubonakala sengathi ingane kaHolliday yaba nomthelela omkhulu kubantu ababemasha, okwakusolwa ukuthi babengenalutho ngaphandle kwezinto ezinhle abangazisho.

"Angikudingi, uB Bowie wayefana nenkanyezi yanoma iyiphi indawo esasikuyo," kusho uHolliday. "Abantu babethi, 'Hawu nkosi yami, umbhikisho wokuqala wengane!' Ngicabanga ukuthi ngikuzwile lokho izikhathi eziyikhulu. Abantu bebethi, 'Awu kuhle kakhulu ukuthi umlethile!' Kwakukhona abesifazane lapho abaneminyaka engu-60 ababethi, 'Lokhu sakwenza ku-Roe v. Wade eminyakeni engu-40 edlule.' Bekumnandi impela. "

"Wonke umuntu ubengisekela kakhulu, futhi lapho abantu bebona uBuyie ubuso babo bukhanya. Bengizophinda futhi, futhi ngizokwenza into efanayo futhi."
