Default A Strong Supporter

Archbishop Tutu has been one of the few high profile religious leaders who is a defender of LGBT people.

you are very right...i know no religion that is liberal on that. finding a religious leader who thinks like this is like green card - you can try but the chance is ...actually not there.
i wonder if people would change if even the pope said that homosexuality is no sin/disease/whatsoever and that all people of all religions and orientations are to be respected...maybe that would make conservatives think about.
gosh, rambling away in my dreams

I've always respected Bishop Tutu as a light in the struggle for human rights. I hope he will be with us a long time yet so that we can be given wisdom.
