Heritage Month
***r Heritage

OUR QUEERNESS DOES NOT MAKE US LESS AFRICAN. OUR HERITAGE IS OURS TOO.🖤🩶

We come from villages, townships and small towns. We come from families, clans, languages, traditions and communities that shaped us long before the world had an opinion about who we should be.📢🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Being LGBTQIA+ does not disconnect us from our roots. We are still our mothers’ children. We are still our ancestors’ descendants. We are still part of the story of where we come from.

This Heritage Month, we celebrate every q***r person who has had to hold onto their identity while still fighting to belong in the very communities they call home.

You do not have to choose between being African and q***r. Rural and proud. Rooted and free.

We are not outside of our heritage. We ARE heritage too.🩶🖤🏳️‍🌈

Stand with families. Stand for equality.

African families come in many forms, and every family deserves dignity, respect, safety and equality.

Join the call to reject anti-rights and anti-LGBTQ+ “family values” narratives that seek to exclude our communities. Cape Town is set to host an anti-LGBTQ+ “family values” conference in May 2027, and our voices matter.

📢 Sign the petition. Speak up. Stand together.
Because hate is NOT a family value. ❤️

Start early, live longer

Early Support Matters

Getting support early can help you understand what you are experiencing, cope with challenges and prevent difficulties from becoming harder to manage.

You don’t have to carry everything on your own. Talking to someone you trust can give you a safe space to express how you feel, feel heard and supported, and help you identify the support you may need.

Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. You are not alone.
