Archbishop Tutu, 81, is a
long-standing campaigner for gay rights,a South African Nobel peace laureate and
retired as Archbishop of Cape Town in 1996, but has remained the moral
conscience of the nation
Archbishop Desmond Tutu says he will never
worship a “homophobic God” and will rather go to hell.
The retired archbishop was speaking
at the launch of a UN-backed campaign in South Africa to promote gay rights.
“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,” Archbishop Tutu said at the launch of the Free and Equal campaign
in Cape Town.
“I would not worship a God who is
homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this.”
Archbishop Tutu said the campaign
against homophobia was similar to the campaign waged against racism in South
Africa.
