Siya Khumalo grew up in a Durban township where one sermon could whip up a lynch mob against those considered different.

Drawing on personal experience,his childhood, life in the army, attending church, and competing in pageants, Khumalo explores being LGBTQI+ in South Africa today.

In You Have to Be Gay to Know God, he takes us on a daring journey, exposing the interrelatedness of religion, politics and sex as the expectations of African cultures mingle with greed and colonial religion.
