There’s a general belief that homosexuality is still frowned upon in South Africa, especially within black communities.
A recent tweet tested that theory in which 2 men were pictured in a passionate embrace.
The photo was captioned:
“Mr and Mr Tau,” and the tweet went viral as many South Africans had their say.

However, not everyone was impressed and aired their views on homosexuality.
Lesbianism and Gayism are awful practices. But the people engage in these practices are precious to God. God loves them the same way He loves you and I. When a man decides to have a fellow man as a lover, it's a sign of misplaced identity. That doesn't mean he's evil.

She called on Nigerians to come forward with evidence proving anyone to be gay so that they could be dealt with accordingly.
