Tutu hasn't just been a leading voice on race relations, but all human rights: He's long opposed laws criminalizing homosexuality and championed efforts to fight HIV/AIDS.
And Tutu never drew a distinction between The Gays and the pious: "To penalize someone because of their sexual orientation is like what used to happen to us; to be penalized for something which we could do nothing (about) — our ethnicity, our race," Tutu told the BBC in 2007. "I would find it quite unacceptable to condemn, persecute a minority that has already been persecuted. If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God."
