In fact his mment to fendg gay and lbian rights isn’t a recent velopment; dat as far back as the 1970s. If the church, after the victory over apartheid, is lookg for a worthy moral csa, then this is : the fight agast homophobia and heterosexism.
More than a later, Tutu ed very siar words to nounce homophobia and heterosexism. He wrote that was “the ultimate blasphemy” to make lbian and gay people doubt whether they tly were children of God and whether their sexualy was part of how they were created by God.
Tutu’s equatn of black civil rights and lbian and gay rights is part of a broar South Ain narrative and dat back to the days of the apartheid stggle. Openly gay anti-apartheid activists, such as Simon Nkoli, had actively participated the liberatn movement, and had succsfully tertwed the stggl agast racism and homophobia. Arguably, the legal provisns did not tomatilly translate to a change of social attus towards lbian and gay people at a grassroots level.
