Obama got his gay supporters fuming by inviting a conservative evangelical to the inaugural, now he’s balancing it out:
Following the row that erupted after pro-marriage and pro-life Saddleback pastor Rick Warren was picked to preside over the main inauguration event, Obama has selected the Episcopal Church’s only openly homosexual bishop to give the main invocation at a Sunday event celebrating Obama’s inauguration, to be held two days later.
New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, a central figure in the homosexual clergy controversy that has rocked the worldwide Anglican communion, will deliver his invocation on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
“I’m just overwhelmed and so humbled by this invitation,” said Robinson, who entered into a legal civil union with his long-time partner Mark Andrews in June.
And if that doesn’t satisfy the gay rights movement, I don’t know what will…on the other hand, to have a “bishop” who abandoned his wife to shack up with a guy might cause Christians to be doubtful of the fitness of the Obama event in question.
