'I feel like it’s important for kids to understand that It’s okay for dad, uncle or brother to date or even marry the same gender without being judged or crucified for being themselves!'

Lasizwe landed on the Twitter trending list after he tweeted about teaching kids about same sex love.Reality TV star Lasizwe landed on the trends list after sharing that he believes kids as young as age seven should be educated about homosexuality and the dynamics of same sex love.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Lasizwe explained that he wasn't going to backtrack from what he said just because of the backlash, because if people were educated enough on homosexuality they would understand exactly what he means by his tweet. “I think people are opposed to the idea because they themselves are not as educated or informed about same sex love and the LGBTQI+ community themselves,” Lasizwe said.

The vlogger reasons that SA and Africa still has a long way to go in truly understanding homosexuality and that perhaps that is part of the reason anything he says that is queer-centred catches fire on social media.
