Some argued that South Ai was not ready to see such on natnal 2008: Rhythm CyOn Rhythm Cy which aired on e-TV had a character Stone, played by Zenzo Ngqobe who had been fightg his gay feelgs for a long time wh no luck. Stone disvered he was gay when he lip-locked wh Thula, played by Wright Ngubeni, Charlotte's bt iend played by Nosipho Nkelemba.

The closet soccer star had to keep his relatnship a secret and a tabloid journalist managed to fd out about and was threateng to expose the fact that he’s gay to the public. This was a ground breakg moment South Ai’s televisn history bee tradnal black muni regard homosexualy as an “un-Ain, ” evil social practice borrowed om the Wt.

We have seen many other storyl where black same-sex love between men and women are displayed on the small screen on lol, some of the actors who have played gay characters have often been quick to distance themselv om beg gay eher on Twter or newspaper articl like Oros Mampofu, Pallance Dladla, Thami Mngqolo, Zolisa Xaluva and Wright Ngubeni. We need more talented actors who don’t have agile masculy by thkg jt by portrayg a homosexual character people would associate them wh beg gay real life.

Also, to the many lol drama wrers, I hope that they start velopg “stronger” and leadg characters when portrayg gay characters stead of showg weak and unr veloped characters wh flimsy storyl of black gay men dyg of AIDS.

That is purely a lack of imagatn and poor wrg by drama world has changed so much as the first all-black movie to w an Osr Award Moonlight for Bt Picture happened to be a story about the challeng of beg black and gay at the same time. The untold stori that black people go through need to be unflchg, poignant and nuanced portrayal of the LGBTIQ (Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Intersex and Qutng) muny on our screens. Although beg gay is not illegal South Ai, a majory of the populatn is still not acceptg of gay people which is why some gay people still choose to hi their beg said, here are some gay celebri South Ai who are livg openly and happily and provg that love is MhlongoSomizi Mhlongo, cred: FacebookSomizi is one of the biggt nam the South Ain entertament dtry and one of the most loved actor/dancer/choreographer is also one of the openly gay celebri South Ai who is not aaid of livg his g out of the closet, Somizi dated women and was once even a stable relatnship wh an actrs lled Pala Madisakwane wh whom he has a dghter lled Bahumi Madisakwane.
