They posted a video of themselves dancing to Missy Elliot’s “Work It” on Instagram, reminiscing about their brighter times.

“Growing up as a queer child, I had many moments of loneliness. I felt like the ugly duckling or the odd one out. Boys didn’t understand me; girls understood me but still never welcomed me fully. My sister @soph_abulous really helped me blossom into the flower I am today,” they wrote.While Linda looked back to when they were younger and joyful in commemoration of Pride Month, actor and radio presenter Khaya Dladla said Pride Month has always been about introspection for him.

“See how far we [have] come from the first LGBTQIA+ march in the African continent in Johannesburg on October 13 1990 fighting for gay rights, equality and [against] apartheid at the same time to today, where people like me are on radio prime-time shows five days a week and on TV six days a week on major channels and streaming platforms. Same-sex couples legally married with children (still working on that😜),” he wrote on his timeline.“The battle is not over, but we are headed in the right direction.
