Wherein Desmond Tutu goes a long way in restoring my faith in organised religion and its ability to actually do some good.

"If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God."

I especially appreciate how he spells out what I and a lot of the people (both believers and non-) I've talked to always come back to: how in a bigger picture someone's sexuality is so incredibly unimportant. If  these people would concentrate as much effort on issues such as global inequality, poverty, environment etc. as they do on obsessing about who people love, the world would be a much better place.
