The youngest daughter of former Cape Town archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Desmond Tutu, has announced that she was married last month in a civil ceremony in the Netherlands to another woman.
The Rev. Canon Mpho A. Tutu, who serves as the Executive Director of the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation in Cape Town reported she and.Marceline van Furth were married in a private ceremony on 30 Dec 2015 in Oegstgees.
Dr. Van Furth and Canon Tutu stated they planned to celebrate their marriage a second time in Cape Town in May since South African civil law permits same-sex weddings.
Well as others may want to take up arms against the marriage, Archbishop Desmond Tutu is apparently among the ranks of gay rights supporters in the church.
“I would not worship a God who is homophobic, and that is how deep I feel about this,”
Tutu said at a United Nations’ gay rights campaign function in Cape Town, South Africa.
“I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. ‘No,’ I would say. ‘Sorry. I mean, I would much rather go to the other place.”
