Desmond Tutu Would Prefer Hell Over A Homophobic Heaven
Yasmine Hafiz ("The Huffington Post," July 26, 2013)
Desmond Tutu denounced religions that discriminate against LGTB-identified
people by making some very strong statements during the United Nations'
launch of its gay-rights program in Cape Town this Friday, reports AFP.
He leaves no doubt about his opinions regarding LGTB rights, declaring:
I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel
about this.
He added:
I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean
I would much rather go to the other place.
South Africa's iconic archbishop is clearly still fighting for equality
despite his retirement, as he went on to relate the gay rights issue to his
country's tumultuous history, saying:
I am as passionate about this campaign as I ever was about apartheid. For
me, it is at the same level.
