I am a gay man, get it straight into your skull- South African dancer reveals

Renowned South African dancer Somizi Mhlongo stormed out of a service in Grace Bible Church, Soweto, after a Ghanaian Bishop, Dag Heward-Mills said being homosexual was “unnatural”.

He posted a video on Instagram after the event, saying he wasn’t going to sit down silently during the service and be offended.

In his words:” Oh Lord, Breathe in Somizi. I just stormed out of Church because some guest pastor from somewhere in Africa just decided to take a turn and speak about homosexuality, how sinful and disgusting. I’m not going to seat there and listen to someone offending me. This is who I am. I am a gay man. Get it straight into your skull. My soul is all right with my God. Let me deal with my soul and God. Don’t tell me. I’m disappointed at all the gay men and women who sat there and listened to him offending us and didn’t do anything about it. I walked out and visibly so. I’m gay and would remain so for the rest of my life. Let God deal with me.”

Below is the video clip of the message that made him leave the church in anger.
