I think this may help promote monogamy amongst gay ppl in Africa, thus in directly helping the spread of AIDS amongst homosexuals in that nation. I think homosexuals EVERYWHERE are too premiscuous.
AIDS is a HUGE problem in Africa but it does not only affect homosexuals. There are straight men and women as well a little children being plagued by this disease.

South Africa's high court approves gay marriage Decision paves way for homosexual unions, a first for the continent
Updated: 8:46 a.m. ET Dec. 1, 2005
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - South Africa's highest court ruled Thursday it is unconstitutional to bar gay marriage, paving the way for this country to become the first in Africa to legalize homosexual unions.
Gay rights activists welcomed the ruling on a continent where homosexuality remains largely taboo.
In its ruling, the court gave the country's parliament a year to change the legal definition of marriage to include same-sex couples.
"We were thinking we would be calling our friends today and inviting them to our wedding," said Fikile Vilakazi, of the Forum for the Empowerment of Women, who proposed to her partner more than six months ago. "Now they are asking us to wait another year."
South Africa recognized the rights of gay people in the constitution adopted after apartheid ended in 1994, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. But married couples have numerous rights still denied gay couples, including the ability to make decisions on each other's behalf in medical emergencies, and inheritance rights if a partner dies without a will.
Marriage is defined in South Africa's common law and Marriage Act as a union between a man and a woman. The Constitutional Court has instructed Parliament to add the words "or spouse" to the definition within a year, or else the change will automatically be effected by the courts.
NOW IF A COUNTRY LIKE THIS CAN PASS THIS ON WHY CANT WE?? I KNOW ITS NOW ALLOWED IN CANADA TO SOME DEGREE WHICH IS ALWAYS A STEP FORWARD BUT THEY ARE TAKING IT TO THE FULL UNION OF THE WORD AND I THINK CANADA SHOULD AS WELL
WE ALL KNOW THAT THE UNITED STATES IS BEING RUN BY SOME DUMBASS SO THIS WONT HAPPEN WHILE HES IN OFFICE BUT I DO HOPE THE NEXT PRESIDENT DOES CHANGE THIS IM HAPPY FOR THE SOUTH AFRICANS ITS A STEP ABOVE MANY COUNTIES
