Archbishop Desmond Tutu says African Anglicans are obsessed with gay issues and they are not confronting the pressing issues the church should be concerned about--HIV/AIDS, Zimbabwe's plight under President Mugabe, and the crisis in Darfur. Speaking to the BBC, Tutu said the Anglican communion is spending too much time debating gay issues and same sex marriage while the continent groans under the burdens of AIDS and corruption. Tutu called the debate an "extraordinary obsession."
