Thandiswa King, Langa Mavuso raise their voices in support of LGBTQI+ community against Podcast king, Mac G.
Mac G has been trending since Tuesday morning due to an episode of his podcast, where he was seen making some transphobic jokes.
While a few persons condemned him saying he made derogatory comments, others defended him.
Instead of trying to cancel MacG, the LGBTQI+ community should be using this as an educational moment to teach people what's offensive and what's not. cause I honestly can't see the offense in this video https://t.co/Z8rdAmSpnn

However, Thandiswa a.k.a King Tha and Langa expressed their dissappointment in Mac G and how heās negatively used his platform.
āTransphobia and homophobia is violence. the lives of trans people matter. when platforms like MACGās podcast invalidate their existence with ājokesā & derogatory terms many intolerant people feel comfortable to violate & endanger those lives too. it is dangerous & intolerable, singer Langa tweeted.
āDear straight person. Donāt talk about us (queer people) on public platforms without us being present to speak for ourselves. There is a lot you donāt know or understand so itās best to seek education rather than talk from ignorance. #TransLivesMatter,ā Thandiswa tweeted.
