I (Nkosi Mlambo) spoke to Nhlalonhle Makhathini about coming out. Different people have different views about coming out. Some believe it’s essential, and others believe we should discard it. Whatever you believe, it’s going to stay for now. The concept of coming out is discussed in this episode. Pros and cons are also discussed. So is coming out overrated?
