Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai of Zimbabwe |
The BBC reports:
Mr Tsvangirai told BBC's Newsnight programme that there was a "very strong cultural feeling" against homosexuality in Zimbabwe, but he would defend gay rights if he became president.This is excellent news.
"It's a very controversial subject in my part of the world. My attitude is that I hope the constitution will come out with freedom of sexual orientation, for as long as it does not interfere with anybody," he told Newsnight's Gavin Esler."To me, it's a human right," he said.Zimbabwe's long-time leader Mr Mugabe - a practising Christian - once said gays were "worse than pigs and dogs", sparking international condemnation.In March 2010, Mr Tsvangirai said gay rights was not up for discussion in Zimbabwe.
