As Uganda weighs the “kill gays bill” Desmond Tutu is calling on Ugandan MP not to pass it…

Desmond Tutu, the archbishop emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa, penned a poignant op-ed Wednesday calling on Uganda’s members of parliament to stand up for the oppressed and reject the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which would prescribe long-term imprisonment and even death for some LGBT people.

“One thing that Ugandan legislators should know is that God does not discriminate among members of our family,” writes Tutu. “God does not say black is better than white, or tall is better than short, or football players are better than basketball players, or Christians are better than Muslims… Or gay is better than straight. No. God says love one another; love your neighbor. God is for freedom, equality, and love.”
