You Have to be Gay to Know God

Siya Khumalo grew up in a Durban township where one sermon could whip up a lynch mob against those considered different. Drawing on personal experience – his childhood, life in the army, attending church, and competing in pageants – Khumalo explores being LGBTQI+ in South Africa today. In ‘You Have to Be Gay to Know God’, he takes us on a daring journey, exposing the interrelatedness of religion, politics and sex as the expectations of African cultures mingle with greed and colonial religion.
