Why so upset?

Why am I so upset about Rick Warren and Obama?

Simply because it shows Pres. Elect Obama does not see LGBT Americans as equal to other Americans. If he were to see us as equal, speech like Warrens, though protected, would not be acceptable. Rick represents a small segment of Americans. Most folks support Women's Rights - including abortion. Most folks support equality between the sexes. Most folks support support some level of gay rights. Most support stem cell research. Warren opposes all those things - and others.

In our nation, "all are created equal" -- we all know that's not true -- but -- our history has been of movement toward that ideal.

The current right-wing-uber-religious-movement has been one of moving away from traditional American ideals. In a very real sense these folks are anti-American.

To honor American Ideals, Pres. Elect Obama must stem that tide, must move back toward accepting ALL Americans as worthy of EQUAL rights. Anything less is unacceptable.
