BTW, Mr. Mandela was 'converted' to endorse gay rights in 1990's. When Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990, a gay activist wrote an open letter to ask the ANC leader his attitude to gay and lesbian rights. "He gave an assurance that gay and lesbian people are part of the oppressed in South Africa, and therefore there was no way he would reject them." Gay people are fully protected (and allowed to marry in the country's new constitution.)
