VIDEO: Obama’s inaugural pastor choice says gays are just too horny
December 19, 2008 at 1:00 pm by Wayne GarciaRev. Rick Warren, the author of “The Purpose-Driven Life,” says that gays should fight against their biological impulses, just like people have to suppress fear or anger in this interview snippet with Ann Curry of The Today Show:
The LGBT community, already not a fan of Obama’s (and apparently vice versa) is understandably miffed.
AFTERNOON UPDATE: Equality Florida sent its supporters this e-mail:
Rev. Rick Warren: Wrong Choice
President-elect Obama’s decision to have the anti-gay Rev. Rick Warren give the invocation at his Presidential Inauguration is an insult to all who believe in equality and a particular insult to LGBT Americans.
It is bad enough that President-elect Obama doesn’t support full marriage equality, but to have a deeply anti-gay minister who has actively worked to strip away our rights and compared our relationships to incest and pedophilia is too deep an insult for us to ignore.
We ask you to join with Equality Florida and sign the petition to President-elect Obama and Congress, letting them know it’s time to stop honoring those who work to take away the rights of LGBT Americans.
Watch Warren’s statements supporting Prop 8 and comparing marriages of gay couples to adults marrying children:
