I was airing my opinion on the topic. Some folks today were being awfully reactive. thats all i was responding to. As politically divided and diverse as our country is - the President is never going to make choices that please everyone. It's simply impossible. People say he could have asked the openly gay Episcopal Archbishop from Vermont to speak - but that would have set off ever conservative in the country. and basically people were saying - pissing off the conservatives is totally okay. It's not like we elected a gay man into the white house - we elected a centrist black man who spoke up against gay marriage during the campaign. We'd best get used to the gay rights laundry list not being at the top of his list of things to keep in mind. (as if it ever was?)

Protesting every decision Obama makes we disagree with a march to city hall is going to lose momentum. And honestly - its not like he gave Warren a cabinet post - he asked him to give a prayer at his inauguration. and a great deal of Americans (whether we agree or not) get a lot of power from thoughful prayer. It's not like Warren is going to pray for gays to be deported from the United States - he'll pray for unity and for leadership from our young, new president. and thats a prayer I think we can all get behind.

Thanks as always for a reasoned conversation Christopher - sorry that it got out of hand elsewhere on this post. Some boys don't know when to stop typing.
