SAME-SEX MARRIAGES .

Same-sex marriages in Africa are still debated on and most of the countries tend to not like or appreciate the marriage custom. Firstly I would like to point out an issue here, as I always tell people. Being gay is not  waking up in the morning and telling yourself that you gay. Its about what you feeling about that particular person never mind of their sexual being but it is all about love and commitment.

It is believed that marriage is for heterosexuals and not for homophobes. Marriage is about love and commitment. Why do we have to be gunned down and our sisters be victims of correction rape and that is just right in the eyes of homophobic people. Parents disown their children for because they have fell in love with their partners and their partners happen to be same sex as them. Truly speaking same sex marriages are the cutest thing ever.  



(Tulchin, 2007) Since early 1960’s, gay activists have been striving for the right to marry. However, the issue of gay marriage only arose from the 1990’s, as three same-sex couples filed a lawsuit against the state of Hawaii for the prohibition of gay marriage in US. This triggered the discussion about same sex marriages around the world  and has grown to be a discussion even today. 

I believe that we have to teach people to accept same sex marriage in Africa. I mean how do we compete with the world when we have our brothers and sisters hostage and cant marry whoever they fall in love with. What's more important is to learn to accept people for who they are. And by the way, the laws that these Presidents implemented to discriminate same sex marriages who gave them the right to implement them? because they don't have the right to dictate the lives of others because of they're sexual being! I SAY #respect2equallove

He grew in the entertainment industry as a choreographer and he was well known for his hard work. He was also doing shows where he revealed his alter ego Madam Gigi-this was after Somizi came out that he is gay. He has a daughter Lehlohonolo Bahumi with the Generations star Palesa Madisikwane.

As we all know that celebrities come and go in this industry, Somizi went broke and he faded away on our TV screens and that was his downfall. Well I don't have all the juices why he went broke but we know he was broke sometime in his life. But he made his comeback in 2010 as the official choreographer for the opening and closing of the FIFA World Cup ceremony. He slowly worked his way up again now he is slaying and doesn't look like he is going to be broke anytime soon. 

He now has #livingthedreamwithsomizi a reality show that plays on Mzansi magic, he is a judge on the hit show Idols SA and he is also a radio personality on fresh breakfast on Metro fm. He is also an MC and he is an author for his book Dominos, where he explains the early stages of his life and his downfall.

OH and of course, he is in a relationship with the hot Mohale Motaung. Somizi proposed in the beginning of the year in Paris and obviously Mohale said YES!. It clearly shows that Somizi is living his dream and its all about hard work. 

WE LOVE YOU SOMGAGA!
