in a fairly recent interview retired archbishop desmond tutu indicated that he would not worship a "homophobic" god, nor would he be interested in going to an anti-homosexual heaven. that is all very well and good except that it ignores the point that God does not have phobias, God is not afraid of anything, not even militant homosexuality. God does not endorse homosexuality, God does not intend that his children should be actively homosexual, God is not afraid of them. God loves them, God wants them to be released and transformed. God is all powerful. Nothing good is beyond God.
Incidentally, according to Holy Scripture and perhaps good logic, heaven is not an especially sexual place. just as there is no homosexuality in heaven, so there is no marriage. heaven is beyond all of that. heaven is eternal freedom freedom from sin, freedom from any desire except to love, serve and please God.
one is free to reject God as He is, but it is utterly ridiculous to set up a straw dog of a homophobic God who could not exist by His very definition, even though He Himself is beyond definition, altogether good and worthy of praise.
Hail Mary.
