Update: In case anyone else suffers from the same fuzzy memory that I do, I should point out that the ANC supported gay rights, that the 1994 South African Constitution banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and that Thabo Mbeki was instrumental in both of these developments. I had thought he had said something a few years ago to the effect that South Africa didn't have to worry about AIDS because it didn't have any homosexuals. That recollection was almost totally wrong; Mbeki did say some bizarre and troubling things about AIDS, but that wasn't one of them.
