Zimbabwe prime minister says gay rights are ‘human rights’
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2011/10/24/zimbabwe-prime-ministers-says-gay-rights-are-human-rights/

Zimbabwe’s prime minister Morgan Tsvangirai has done a U-turn on gay rights and says he now wants them protected under the new constitution.

Speaking to BBC News, he said gay rights were a “human right” that should be respected by Zimbabweans.

“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 added.
