Desmond Tutu (born 1931) is an Anglican archbishop emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. He has written numerous books for adults and children — including The Rainbow People of God and, together with his good friend the Dalai Lama, The Book of Joy.
He supports it. The retired Anglican Archbishop says he would not worship a homophobic god and if heaven is homophobic, he will refuse to enter it. Tutu states that he is as passionately opposed to homophobia as he was to apartheid. I enclose a link to an excerpt from a 2011 book he wrote, in which he discusses why he is in favor of equal rights for gay men and lesbians.
By learning, teaching and obeying the Torah.

"The Family is the Country of the heart." Giuseppe Mazzini "When you look at your life the greatest happiness are family happinesses." Joyce Brothers "You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them." Desmond Tutu "Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth." Peter Ustinov
Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Faith would cause commitment.
Answer:Performing salah (the five daily prayers at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset and night) does not show your commitment. It helps you strengthen your commitment, if you already believe."Showing your commitment" is just like "showing off". We don't show off. Unless you do it purely for God's sake, then it is simply impure. Not good.Jesus said to go pray in secret.But if one's heart is empty of the love and fear of God, then no ritual will place that there.When you read the words of God from the Qur'an, as you stand and bow down to Him, then you will know how it buildscommitment.It re-connects you to the source of all good - God.

Jesus was not committed to Christianity because He was Jewish. Christianity did not begin until after Jesus died.
