Nobody on the continent has held more moral authority than Mandela, the first post-apartheid president of South Africa. From the beginning, Mandela spoke out for gay rights in South Africa, the only African country with a constitution protecting homosexuals from discrimination.

Shortly after becoming president, Mandela appointed an openly gay judge to South Africa's High Court of Appeal. Other prominent gay rights supporters include Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Mandela's successor, Thabo Mbeki. According to Mbeki, the struggle against apartheid, which had banned interracial sex, made South Africa's new leaders reluctant to raid people's bedrooms.

The South African examples speak loud and clear: Gay rights are human rights, not Western ones, so everyone is enjoined to respect them."
