Media personality SomiziMhlongoMotaung has addressed racism and classism in the LGBTQIA+ community. IOL_Lifestyle

“You look at the committees that run Pride, the locations that host the march are where it will be suitable for white queer people to be comfortable,” said Somizi.

He went on to say that he has never heard of an inclusive Pride march that has taken place in ‘the hood’. He then asked what was the point of having a march when it does not benefit the majority of queer people. “We need to have full representation in the decision-making. It’s not only white queers that can think of great ideas,” he said.“There are gay men who feel that other gay men from the hood are low-class, cheap and uneducated. Those men think they are better than others.

“They even look down on homosexuals who are attacked in the hood, and say they deserve it because they go to cheap taverns. I grew up in Orlando East, so I know both ends. It needs to stop,” he said.
