"Today the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, sent the following
letter to President-elect Obama on the selection of anti-gay reverend,
Rick Warren, to deliver the invocation at the 56th Presidential
Inauguration set to take place on the West Front of the United States
Capitol on January 20th. "

Here is an email i sent to Obama's LGBTQ liason:
Dear Parag,
As an Obama supporter who donated time, money and energy to help him get elected, and a queer Christian woman, I am appalled by the choice of Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at Obama's inauguration. It is one thing to pick people from the other team to build coalitions and bring reconciliation, but quite another to allow a homophobic man to participate in this historic event. Warren has been quoted saying only Christians should run for public office, marriage historically has been between a man and a woman, and why should we change laws to appease 2 percent of the population.
WTF is Obama thinking. i am so very disturbed and disappointed in this decision.
Best regards,
Adele Sakler
