Oh main squeeze Archbishop Desmond Tutu's at it again. The outspoken theologian, liberationist and all around mensch has again spoken out against church-based homophobia. Speaking with journalists at the World Social Forum, Tutu insisted:

I am deeply, deeply distressed that in the face of the most horrendous problems - we've got poverty, we've got conflict and war, we've got HIV/AIDS - and what do we concentrate on? We concentrate on what you are doing in bed.

To penalize someone because of their sexual orientation is like what used to happen to us; to be penalized for something which we could do nothing [about] - our ethnicity, our race. I would find it quite unacceptable to condemn, persecute a minority that has already been persecuted.
