WATCH: New TV show tackles LGBTQ+ issues
Mzansi locals will discuss issues they face around their sexuality.
Love in all its varieties is being celebrated this February, with the launch of South Africa’s first LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer/questioning and others) TV show.
I Was in The Closet, created by GauTV for DStv channel 265, focuses on some of the struggles faced by the LGBTQ+ community in Gauteng.
Viewers can tune in every Monday night at 9.30pm when host Dr Tebo Moema speaks to Mzanzi locals about the struggles they face within their communities. The show hopes to create a platform where a variety of LGBTQ+ people, including celebrities, can share their stories, and where issues surrounding homosexuality can be discussed.
“I would love us all to have open discussions and hear each other out as equal members of society, and I Was in The Closet is a programme to offer a step in that direction,” said a delighted Moema. “We are not only telling closet stories, but also sharing life lessons on marriage, having children and living life to the full within the LGBTQ+ community of Mzansi,” he added.
