As a gay man, and supporter of Barack Obama from very early on, I as well as thousands of other gays and lesbians feel deeply insulted and betrayed by the selection of Rick Warren to give the invocation at his innauguration. Obama claims to support the GLBT community, but will invite a divisive and bigotted preacher of hate and fear to speak first in the innauguration ceremony. What kind of message is this to the GLBT community? Will we see a continued diminishing of our rights as we have under the Bush administration? How are we expected to believe in a president with so little regard to one of the strongest voting groups that supported him? It is not too late for the president-elect to change his choice in this matter! I urge all supporters of the GLBT community to speak out, and make your voices heard! Shame on you Barack Obama!
