This study investigated how black gays and lesbians living in South African townships view themselves in relation to the white gay and lesbian community in South Africa. This study also investigated ways in which black South African gays and lesbians cope in oppressive environments and investigated recommendations for greater equality within the South African gay and lesbian community. Participants ranged in age from 19 to 32 years old, hailed from four townships in and around Johannesburg, South Africa, and included four women and three men. The research method employed in this study was photovoice, a form of participatory action research that utilizes documentary photography and storytelling. Participants spent the first four weeks of the study photographing their responses to four research questions. At the end of the fourth week, I engaged each participant in an individual, tape-recorded dialogue. The individual dialogue involved two stages: (1) selecting (choosing photographs that most accurately reflected participants' concerns), and (2) contextualizing (telling stories about what the photographs meant). Participants were then engaged in a group dialogue. At that time, participants read the transcripts from their individual dialogue and collectively identified themes, issues, and theories that emerged from their photographs and transcripts. Participant selected photographs were enlarged, mounted, and displayed for one week in the lobby of the William Cullen Library at the University of Witwaterstand in Johannesburg. Data reveal that the gay and lesbian community in a post-apartheid South Africa is racially segregated. Further, participants of this study reported being sexually assaulted for challenging the heterosexual quo and were torn between honoring cultural traditions, such as visiting African healers to “cure” their bodies of homosexuality, and challenging the belief that homosexuality is un-African. Nevertheless, participants reported having sufficient strength within themselves to maintain hope and optimism amidst oppression. Through education for empowerment, participants were able to see themselves as community advocates and as participants in public dialogue on issues that plague their community. The photo exhibit in this study provided a venue for participants to speak out against social injustices and to share with the community their recommendations to improve public and social policy.Subjects--Topical Terms:
