The Truth
I have been repeatedly called a racist for pointing out Obama’s homophobia since he won California in a landslide, yet Prop 8 passed, stripping gay and lesbian Californians of a basic civil right. Obama’s pandering to evangelical and homophobic voters led to his own words being used to support the passage of the vile proposition. Then some in the African American community had the audacity to blame the passage of the hate filled amendment on the gay community itself. Despite all this, the gay community bent over backwards to give the homophobe in chief a pass. And how did they get rewarded?
the Rev. Rick Warren will pray and more than 11,000 U.S. troops will be watching over inauguration ceremonies in case of an attack during President-elect Barack Obama’s swearing-in on Jan. 20.
That would be evangelical con man Rick Warren who is a rock star to the right wing fundies. This guy…
Warren in October implored his followers to vote for Proposition 8 because “there are about 2 percent of Americans are homosexual, gay, lesbian people. We should not let 2 percent of the population…change a definition of marriage that has been supported by every single culture and every single religion for 5,000 years.” Warren called opposition to gay marriage a “humanitarian issue” because “God created marriage for the purpose of family, love and procreation.”
Warren, like Rick Santorum, also believes that gay marriage would open the institution to men marrying children, animals, and all sorts of things. He even uses his homophobia to support other crackpot christian ideas such as creationism.
Warren, a creationist, believes that homosexuality disproves evolution; he told CNN’s Larry King in 2005, “If Darwin was right, which is survival of the fittest then homosexuality would be a recessive gene because it doesn’t reproduce and you would think that over thousands of years that homosexuality would work itself out of the gene pool.”
Warren protests that he’s not a homophobe; it’s just that two dudes marrying, in his mind, is indistinguishable from an adult marrying a child, a brother marrying his sister, or polygamy.
It is rhetoric like that which creates an atmosphere that not only promotes discrimination, but justifies violence against gays and lesbians. Horrible actions like the murder of Matthew Shepherd, and many others, are a direct result of the rantings of people like Warren. Obama is a bigot, a homophobe, and a disgrace to the civil rights movement. And how are the ass kissers in the gay community reacting now?
Joe Solomnese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, sent a blistering letter to the president-elect, accusing him of delivering a “genuine blow” to the gay community in choosing the reverend to give the formal invocation at next month’s inauguration.
“[W]e feel a deep level of disrespect when one of architects and promoters of an anti-gay agenda is given the prominence and the pulpit of your historic nomination,” he wrote.
Andrew Sullivan wrote on the Atlantic Web site, “[It's] shrewd politics, but if anyone is under any illusion that Obama is interested in advancing gay equality, they should probably sober up now.”
Liberal groups criticized the inclusion of Warren, whose “Purpose Driven Life” books and lectures have made his church among the largest in the country. People For the American Way President Kathryn Kolbert said Warren’s support for California Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage, should have blocked his invitation.
“It’s a huge mistake,” said California gay rights activist Rick Jacobs, who chairs the state’s Courage Campaign. “He’s really the wrong person to lead the president into office.”
You know what guys? Fuck you too. If you hadn’t been so willing to dismiss every other instance that screamed homophobe when it came to a corrupt rotten bigot like Obama, I might feel some compassion. It seems a little weak now, coming from some of the biggest Obama ass kissers of the “progressive left”. In fact some of them are so out of touch they are actually surprised by Obama’s hateful decision:
Washington Blade editor, Kevin Naff, called the selection “Obama’s first big mistake.”
…I’ll have whatever that guy is smoking….
You know, if McCain had won the election, and chose Warren for the invocation, the left would be outraged. They would have said that it was a direct result of the influence of so called like minded creationist Sarah Palin. I can’t wait to see the blogger boyz twist themselves into knots of pathological hypocrisy to justify Obama’s actions. At the very least, maybe now gay people will wake up from their kool aid coma and start speaking out against the anti civil rights homophobe they helped to put in office.
