In all fairness, they have a huge AIDS problem to the point it is a survival issue.
The USA is the only place where homosexuals are the primary vector of HIV/AIDS. Seriously. Everywhere else it's primarily spread as a heterosexual venereal disease, and in some places in Africa (I don't know whether under Mugabe's watch -- if it is and he takes no notice, he's a specially big hypocrite) there are hideous practices such as the superstitious belief that sex with an infant will rid an adult of AIDS.
