Obama's First Big Mistake!

This is the sort of decision I would have expected Sarah Palin to make - not Obama.

I have seen a number of interviews today in which Rick Warren tries to portray himself as not being homophobic - only on Anderson Cooper did I see this very important clip being played in which he compared homosexual relationships to practicioners of incest, pedophilia and polygamy. Click here to see it for yourself, but I have it quoted here:

Rick Warren - “I’m opposed to having a brother and sister be together and call that marriage. I’m opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that a marriage. I’m opposed to one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage.”

Interviewer – “Do you think those are equivalent to gays getting married?”

Rick Warren – “Oh I do.”

Of all the arguements against gay marriage, the incest and pedophilia (usually partnered with bestiality - at least he didn't add that on) attacks are among the most offensive and if Rick Warren is to continue being the speaker at the inauguration it's important that he first apologizes for this comment.

And Barack - I suggest you do the same. The gay and lesbian community, much like the rest of America, were ardent supporters that underneath your leadership America could begin to make the changes necessary to once again make this country great. Since the election, we have lost the right to marry in California and the newspapers across the country (and the world) carry story upon story of hate crimes being carried out against the gay community. It's high time that the President of the United States addresses one of the last great civil rights issues that humanity as a whole needs to face.
