Lwando Scott, Holaa!
A few months ago I received an e-mail asking my advice about
IsiXhosa equivalents of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender.
IsiXhosa equivalents of these words only seem to exist in
derogatory terms.
Growing up I had no language to talk about sexual identity;
even the concept of having a “sexual identity” was a revelation in my late
teens. Although visibly gay while growing up, there was no concrete
articulation of my gayness as a sexual identity.
