WATCH: Somizi takes a stand against homophobia

Cape Town - Idols SA judge Somizi stormed out of church on Sunday, took a stand against homophobia and made a plea to churches all over SA.

The popular local host made the powerful statements in a set of two videos uploaded to his Instagram that have since gone viral. 

Somizi attends Grace Bible Church in Soweto.

The Juice reached out to Somizi's church, Grace Bible Church, and Pastor Mathole who said the following: "We don't discriminate at all. Bishop Mills who made the sermon spoke on a number of lifestyle issues and his views on gay people are his own. Our church's views are the biblical ones that marriage is between a man and a woman, but we don't discriminate. We also don't feel that gay people need our endorsement."
