While same sex relationships and marriages are legal in South Africa and most of the Western Countries - an alarming number of people are not accepting and embracing of the union particularly in African Countries such as Uganda. Same sex marriages are still frowned upon in major social structures such as churches and the usual culture, tradition etc. I have always wanted to hear from a same sex married couple of how it’s like to live in a society that does not deem them ‘normal’
In the conversation they open up about 'coming out' to their families, how they navigate in society, how they met, their marriage, some of the myths about same sex relationships and much more. ----more----
About Them
Boitumelo & Lekgowe Thipe are a same-sex loving couple, they met in 2015 through a beloved mutual friend. After a couple of months of dating they lost touch and went on their separate ways.
The stars, however, realigned for them when they reconnected back in 2017. After dating for just a little over 2 years, they got engaged in March of 2019 and got married later in September.
As a family they enjoy being outdoors, picnicking, going on walks and discovering new places through travel. They love spending time with loved ones & family is everything to them.
Lekgowe is a practicing psychologist and currently completing her PHD in Psychology. Boitumelo is a full time student, studying towards a Law degree.
