On Civil Rights: Wrote anti-gay article in law school, no longer her view

Her most controversial story came from an October 11, 2001, article entitled "The Right Side: Coming out of Homosexuality." Tshibaka urged gay people to "not be controlled by the 'once-gay-always-gay-rhetoric' used to advance political agendas." Tshibaka told CNN, "I strongly believe that we should treat all people with respect and dignity. The student article was assigned to me by an editor as a counterpoint piece about 20 years ago, and I don't hold that point of view today."

On Drugs: Linked drugs with witchcraft, demonic possession

Tshibaka also made a connection between illicit drugs and witchcraft by writing about the etymology of the word "pharmacy."

"There is a link between drugs and witchcraft. Our word 'pharmacy,' for example, comes from the Latin word pharmakon, which means 'magic charm' or 'poison.' Perhaps this explains why many people who have used illegal drugs experience demonic oppression," she wrote, though she mistakenly says "pharmakon" comes from Latin. The origins come from pre-Greek languages.
