While the dust of the comments made by British
Prime Minister, Mr. David Cameron in support of gay marriage, South African
Rights activist is yet to settle, Desmond Tutu has also lent his voice to the
pro-gay argument.
South Africa's Nobel peace laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has said 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.
Archbishop Tutu, 81, has been a long-standing campaigner for 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.
"I am as passionate about this campaign as I ever was about apartheid. For me, it is at the same level," he added.
