SOWETO, South Africa (AP) - At an unlicensed bar in an inconspicuous house, men and women sip lukewarm beer, mingle, flirt and dance to driving music called kwaito.
They share a secret.
The bar, or shebeen, in the black township of Soweto in Johannesburg, is a place where young, black gays don't have to hide who they are, where they can talk openly, and find safety and companionship in an often hostile neighborhood.
