Desmond Tutu Would Rather Go To Hell
Than Homophobic Heaven
Archbishop Desmond Tutu Would Rather Go To Hell Than Worship A God That Does Not Support Homosexuality
Archbishop Tutu is not feeling all the gay
bashing…
South Africa’s iconic retired archbishop, Desmond Tutu, said on Friday that if
he had his pick, he’d go to hell before heading to a heaven that condemned
homosexuality as sin. “I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is
how deeply I feel about this,” he said, by way of denouncing religions that
discriminate against gays, in Agence France-Presse..
He added, AFP reported: “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.”
He made the remarks during the United Nations‘ launch of its gay-rights
campaign in Cape Town.
Mr. Tutu also likened equal rights for gays to the fight for equal rights for
blacks. “I am as passionate about this campaign as I ever was about apartheid,”
he said, AFP reported. “For me, it is at the same level.”
