Prominent Homophobe to Attend Obama’s Inauguration
From Towleroad:
Pastor Rick Warren of the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California has been chosen to give the invocation at Obama’s inauguration, the Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies announced today.
Warren, who hosted a ‘forum’ in which Obama and McCain participated during the campaign, was a vocal supporter of Proposition 8
Had Proposition 8 been about discrimination against any other group, no one would even consider inviting Rick Warren to Washington.
So much for change we can believe in.
Added at 2:11: Gay-rights activist Rick Jacobs says what I just wrote, “Can you imagine if he had a man of God doing the invocation who had deliberately said that Jews are not going to be saved and therefore should be excluded from what’s going on in America? People would be up in arms.”
