South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu on Friday said he'd rather go to "the other place" than worship a "homophobic" God, according to BBC News.
The Nobel peace laurete's comments came during the Friday launch of "Free & Equal," the United Nation's (UN) first global public education campaign on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights.
Violence toward these communities is relatively common in South Africa, even though same-sex partnerships have been legalized, said the BBC.
An anti-apartheid hero in South Africa, Tutu told listeners in Cape Town: "I am as passionate about this campaign as I ever was about apartheid," reported Al Jazeera.
Tutu retired as archbishop of Cape Town in 1996 and is 81 years old, said the BBC. Death is not the faraway abstraction for him that it is for the young. Even so, "I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven," he earlier said, according to Al Jazeera. "No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place."

He is like all unbelievers. They worship a god of their own making, an idol.

He must not read the bible.
Tutu also outed himself as a false preacher. This is good

He’s Jim Jones sans Kool-Aid, a Marxist cloaking it with religion.

And I refuse to worship a homo who is God-ophobic.
That's why I refuse to worship Obama.

Heaven may indeed be hell for him if he has to share it with those who’ve condemned his favorite sin, although, he may well hear, “Depart from me, I never knew you”.

God is not afraid of anything or anyone, Mr. Tutu. He does want us to shun sexual impurity in any form, including homosexuality.

Love the sinner, hate the sin.
I think Tutu will get his wish, and spend some quality time with his queer friends, somewhere nice and warm!

Well, God isn't homophobic: He is Holy.
In fact, so much so that He is described as a consuming fire (See Heb). In his presence you or I would be instantly killed, because we are sinners: indeed, that is the reason that God only partially granted the request of Moses to see God (He showed His afterefects/glory instead). This is also the reason that the saints will, at the end, throw their crowns at Jesus's feet and say You are worthy!
