Desmond Tutu: I’d pick hell over an anti-gay heaven

By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times Friday, July 26, 2013

 

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."
