LGBT activists marched to Grace Bible Church in Soweto to protest against a sermon condemning homosexuality that was held at last week's sunday service.
Somizi stormed out of the church after remarks were made by a visiting pastor about homosexuality being a sin. He then uploaded videos slamming the church onto his Instagram account, calling for churches to be honest about how they feel about gay people attending church.

GBC MUST let the whole nation know if the LGBT community is welcome or not. It's that simple. #OccupyGraceBibleChurch

No one has the right to say who should and shouldn't be allowed in church, #OccupyGraceBibleChurch

Dear LGBTI, please open your own church, quote your own scriptures from the Bible and preach about your own stuff. #OccupyGraceBibleChurch
