DAMN Crazy : PHOTOS & VIDEO: The First Traditional African Gay Wedding Ceremony
The gay couple who tied the knot in a traditional Zulu and
Tswana wedding while dressed in traditional attire say they will not be
fazed by the criticism being aimed at them by social network users and
Zulu culture experts.
Thoba
Sithole, a Zulu from KwaDukuza, and Tshepo Modisane, a Tswana from
Johannesburg, tied the knot on Saturday in KwaDukuza with about 200
people, including family, friends, onlookers and the media in
attendance.
Sithole and Modisane, both 27, defended their wedding and said there was nothing evil or untraditional about it.
The Gay Couple Took a Kiss Professor Velaphi Mkhize, a Zulu traditional culture analyst and writer, said Zulu culture did not recognise homosexuality, therefore, traditionally, Modisane and Sithole’s marriage was void.
“In the olden days there were homosexuals, but when a gay child was born the family used to slaughter an animal to plead with the ancestors to intervene and take the evil spirit away from the child.”
“However, now the constitution recognises homosexuality and gay marriages and the biggest challenge we are facing is how do we continue to call something a taboo if it is recognised by the constitution.”
He said the marriage was an insult to Zulu forefathers because marriage was traditionally a way to expand the family. Wives were expected to give birth to children who would carry their families’ names forward. Homosexuality made this impossible, said Mkhize.
However, Sithole, an IT specialist based in Johannesburg, said:
“If being gay is evil, why did God create gay people? Gays are born gay and according to a Bible scripture we were all created by God, so I don’t see anything evil about being born gay because it means that God wanted you to be gay.”
Modisane said they did not need to justify their wedding to the public because it was only between them, and to make them happy.
“We decided to have a traditional wedding because we firstly wanted to show people that being homosexual can be part of an African culture.
“Secondly,
we wanted to celebrate the love we have for each other and show people
that we don’t feel ashamed for the choices we have made in our lives,”
said Modisane, who works as a chartered accountant in Johannesburg.
The couple said the support they had received from their families made it easier for them to tie the knot.
“My family has always been there for me and had always been there for me even in my previous homosexual relationships,” said Modisane.
Sithole said his mother had always told him how she was looking forward to seeing him getting married to his partner.
They started dating in 2011 after they had been friends for some time.
Modisane said he was attracted to Sithole because he was a well-grounded man who loved God and was someone who could bring stability in his life.
Sithole said their next step after the wedding was buying a home and starting their own family. “We are fully committed to each other and we believe children form an important foundation in bringing stability in one’s life,” he said. “We will be adopting two kids – a boy and a girl – to be part of our family.”

Sorry, Boys: Size DOES Matter, As Study Reveals Well-Endowed Men Get the Girls
Women may claim they are attracted to a man for his personality, looks or even his money, but the naked truth is far simpler and cruder that that: size matters. New research has shown that 21st century females are far more similar to their cavewomen ancestors than originally thought, because the size of a man's penis still plays a key role in deciding how attractive a woman rates him.
The findings are based on 5,145 computer-generated images of men shown to over 100 adult women of all ages and backgrounds.
Each image showed a representation of the male form, with varying combinations of height, shoulder-to-body ratio and, of course, penis length. Flaccid penis sizes of between two and five inches (five to 13cm) were used because this is the typical size range found in Western men, according to the study carried out by researchers at the University of Ottawa, Canada. Women were then asked to rate the attractiveness of each man, according to the research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
The results showed that while women's opinions were influenced by a variety of physical features - tall and broad-shouldered men tended to be favoured over shorter men with bigger waistlines - the size of a man's penis reigned supreme in the attractiveness stakes. The findings contradict previous studies suggesting that the size of male genitalia was of no importance to women.
While researchers were unable to find the perfect penis size, proportion is crucial, they say. In what may come as a relief to many men, manhood must not be so large that it appears out of proportion to the rest of his body. The researchers also believe that the female preference for a larger penis may have influenced the evolution of its shape and size today.
They said: 'Our results directly contradict claims that penis size is unimportant to most females. They show that female mate choice could have played a role in the evolution of the relatively large human male penis.' 'Males with a larger penis were rated as being relatively more attractive, but, the proportional increase [in size] begins to decrease [in attractiveness] after a certain size,' said the report.
The Canadian study comes after another investigation carried out by the University of the West of Scotland found that a larger than average penis is more likely to bring women to orgasm. In the Scottish study, an average length penis was defined as being 5.8 inches (14.7 cm) long when erect - the same length as a ten pound note.
