How to change your sex on your passport in canada
Two young men tied the knot in a rare South African gay wedding in KwaDukuza (Stanger) on Saturday.
In what was described as the town’s first gay marriage, Tshepo Modisane and Thoba Sithole, both 27, walked down the aisle in front of 200 guests at the Stanger Siva Sungam community hall.
The wedding was a jubilant, exciting affair, attracting even uninvited members of the local community.
Thoba, a Joburg-based IT specialist, is from Shakaville, KwaDukuza and Tshepo an audit manager at PwC. They have known each other for years and dated on and off, before stabilising their relationship.
Now that they are wedded, they will take on the double-barrelled surname of Sithole-Modisane. The couple appeared to enjoy the support from the community, family and friends.
“Thoba is a really nice guy, very fun and outgoing,” said Loyiso Xaba, a family friend.
Another wedding guest, Bongani Sibisi, said: “They are an inspiration and step in the right direction.”
“This is my first wedding of this kind,” said Pastor Tankiso Mokwena, who married the couple.
In an interview on gay lifestyle website mambaonline.com, Thoba said about the relationship: “Since we are both men we have decided that neither of us will pay lobolo. The most we will do is to buy gifts for our parents as a sign of appreciation for raising us.”
The couple are reportedly planning to have children through a surrogate.
“Family is important to us and that is the number one reason why we want to have children,” said Thoba.
“We also want our children to grow up in an environment where they are loved greatly by both parents who appreciate them.”
Tshepo said one of the reasons they chose to be so open was that they “hope to inspire people out there who are still struggling to come to terms with their sexuality”.
“We see no reason to hide in darkness as if there is something to be ashamed about.
“Our marriage is largely symbolic and a sign that black gay men can commit and build a family through a happy and loving marriage,” he said.

“DONT BE A LITTLE PENIS!!”Reverse Gender Stereotypes at the Gym
this is the best thing i have ever seen.
yes
we were taught about how David and Jonathan were ~best bros~
when this was
obviously
not the case
#that time there was a gay couple in the bible and nobody talked about it ever
Can we talk about Ruth and Naomi too, please.
And how…
You know what show had the biggest plot twist ever?
I had absolutely no clue Blue was a girl
meaning my entire childhood was spent shipping two female dogs
I had a lesbian dog otp at the age of 5 omfg
Magenta is a boy
what the fuck
blue’s clues took assigned gender colors and told society to suck it
Here it is! I’m not 100% sure if I like how it came out… it almost seems a bit too cutesy for the subject. Maybe I just like drawing cute clothes and bright colours too much!
This is for a contest with the Canadian Human Rights Agencies for their conference in May. All the Advanced Illustration students and Design students had to enter as part of their final. Kinda pissed that they required us to print it off at 24 x 36…. which I think is way too big and expensive ($50!!) for most students and their budget. We don’t even get to keep the posters. And the top prize is only $200. I feel kinda ripped off. :/
I think calling a trans woman “he” (or a trans man “she”) is slightly less degrading than calling them “it”. ”It” sounds like on the same level as a piece of furniture to me. Something that isn’t alive. Something that doesn’t have feelings or rights. I don’t approve of anyone getting called anything but the gender they wish to be called, but something about “it” rubs me the wrong way.
So I hope to see this picture win. Sorry that it’s not a great prize… but I am glad you’re doing it. I really enjoy the piece for pointing out that trans folk get called “it”.
Edit: Oops! Will point out you may want to change “transgendered” to just “transgender”. Transgendered isn’t correct.
this wins over other pro-gay commercials because you had no idea he was gay and then you can’t tell which one is his husband
they are showing them as people
not as gays and straights
