Obama Picks Anti-Gay Marriage Pastor For Inauguration, Left Freaks Out
I’m not sure why the left is freaking out, though. Obama himself opposes gay marriage.
(CNN) — Prominent liberal groups and gay rights proponents criticized President-elect Barack Obama Wednesday for choosing evangelical pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at the presidential inauguration next month.
Warren, one of the most powerful religious leaders in the nation, has championed issues such as calling for the reduction of global poverty, human rights abuses, and the AIDS epidemic.
But the founder of the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, has also adhered to socially conservative stances — including his opposition to gay marriage and abortion rights that puts him at odds with many in the Democratic Party, especially the party’s most liberal wing.
Just another example of that famous liberal tolerance we’re always told so much about. They’re tolerate you, as long as you adhere to liberal dogma.
And I say that as someone who is just fine with gay marriage.
