		<description>Rick Warren say that the Gay community is only 2% of the overall US population. In reality, Gay people account for 10% of the population….

This ultimately works out to mean the following:

July 2007 estimated US population = greater than 300 million people

Rick Warren’s 2% figure against this total would = 6 million total Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Transgender people in the USA.

In reality the figure is greater than that, equal to 10% of the US population which equals 30 million total Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Transgender people in the USA.

Rick Warren is willing to discount and forget about the difference, equalling 24 million people. 

24 million people would have to disappear to allow Warren’s math to be correct. 

What does Obama have to say about it? 

“….It’s time to work together….”

I know of another time and another country that wanted to erase certain groups from their overall population….

That country was Germany and the story we know too well….

The first group of people on their list to eradicate wasn’t the Jews….

Anyone want to guess which group the Nazi’s “forgot about” first?</description>

		<description>Someone needs to design a program that will cure Christians of judging others so harshly. If I would have known that Rick Warren was going to give the invocation, I would not have contributed 1000 dollars to Obama. 

Obviously Rick Warren has not matured as a loving and non-judging Christian. Grow up you homophobic nutcase.</description>

		<description>Warren is no different then the rest he&#039;s preaching for money and it&#039;s working. Now I&#039;m 100 per cent for Gay Rights but I wonder why the attack is on Obama?  Where were these groups for 8 years while Bush treated Gays like dirt. It seems because Obama believes in equality, people want to take adventage and get pushy. While Bush said in 2000 Gays aren&#039;t included in any rights of the USA. Warren is giving a blessing as is another Pastor who is supported of Gay Rights.  All Americans should be glad none of the Pastors will have an office in the White House like they did during the Bush Administratiion.  Gay&#039;s have some powerfull people fighting for their equal rights like Obama, Biden and even Caroline Kennedy so leave Warren to his collection plate and let&#039;s deal with real issues of change.</description>

		<description>Though I agree with the anger and resentment of the Gays, I do think this willingness to support State sponsored assassination is more egregious.  Prop 8 is a set back, but has served to bring the debate front and center and that is a debate will eventually be won.  Now as for killing world leaders because someone judges them as evil....</description>

		<description>Hey Impeach,  The bible literalists seem to do a lot of picking and choosing to suit their preconceived biases. But the times are a changin&#039;.  I think it will take more than Hawaiian shirts and friendly demeanor to sell Warren&#039;s snake oil.  But there does seem to always be a willing bunch suspending disbelief to go for the Holy Roly Poly Ride.</description>

		<description>An intervention is needed for Warren to help cure him of his delusional beliefs in the supernatural. He needs to be confronted with his homophobia and latent self-hatred. This poor imitation of a man thinks he can assuage his black soul by &quot;good deeds&quot; when in fact it is a cover for his despicable anti-human behavior.</description>

		<description>I agree with those that say, let&#039;s have a FULLY OPEN Inauguration! Yes, indeedy! Along with Mr. Ricky Warren, we can have the KKK invited, some neonazis and have everything draped in sheets and swastikas. Why not? Just an expression of differing views and it will bring us all together! Gosh! Zieg!

Meanwhile, tricky Ricky oughta consider this study. Might just be that he&#039;s a wannabe c--ksucker? (Hey, I&#039;m a Queer so I can say that with all due nausea at the very notion...)

**
&quot;Adams HE; Wright LW Jr; Lohr BA. Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal? J Abnorm Psychol 1996 Aug;105(3):440(c)445.
 
Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens 30602(c)3013, USA.

The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson &amp; W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss &amp; M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies.</description>

		<description>jb - thanks for those links.  The real problem with Christian literalists is that they ignore the history behind the final rendition of the New Testament.  When Constantine adopted Christianity, it eventually became the state religion of the Roman Empire, even though he originally was promoting only freedom of religion.  Later known as the Holy Roman Empire.  It doesn&#039;t take an enormous intellect to discern why the supposed respect for government authority shows up in the &quot;approved&quot; Scriptures.</description>

		<description>President Elect Obama is an enemy of the gay community. Black Americans are not friends of the gay community. It is gutterly understood that right wing fundi White Christians are truely enemies of the gay community; but, political correctness, especially this past election year, gave the gay community pause in uttering the fact of the inherent Christian based gay racism in the Black community. Not some, not few, not here and there; but, most Black Americans are gay racists. Black Americans must be viewed for the enemy that they are of the gay community along side with their Christian White counterparts. The gay community must work to impede Black political interests and rights insofar as that is what Black Americans are doing unto gay interests. THEY ARE ALSO THE ENEMY. 
Just as the gay community would do no less to obstruct the interests and rights of any conservative republican white or otherwise; the gay community must direct the same vigor to obstruct, and impede any political gains of the Black community. They have no qualms about doing as much to the gay community. The gay community must rise above the political correctness of aligning itself to a fellow Democratic Party faction and recognize Black America is as much an enemy as is as the Conservative right wing American. Let&#039;s work to vote against any and all Black American political interests at every level; be it school board or the office of the presidency. Work as hard as possible to minimize their hateful bigotted gay racist influence.
There is no difference between a Black homophobe and a Conservative one.
Ask yourself would have Hillary Clinton invited such a vile gay racist to her inaguration. Obama not only threw the gay community under the bus; he condoned gay racist speech.
I regret voting for this man.</description>

		<description>Cure gays?  This is the same garbage that James Dobson spews.  How exactly do you cure a homosexual?  Give them a beer?  Buy them a playboy magazine?  Have them join the army?  

This is total lunacy!</description>

I wouldn’t go to his church. But to refuse his help on all those other important issues just so I could “make a point” on this one — makes no sense to me.&lt;/em&gt;

pRick warren can help out all he wants after jan 20... that day and that process should not involve a BIGOT.

obama should never have invited the fat fook.  now that he did, it&#039;s likely a done deal... too bad...

i remember that obama told us all he would admit to mistakes...
here is a great opportunity to do just that.</description>

&lt;em&gt;A tempest in a teapot. Warren’s focus is on stewardship of the earth (global warming, pollution) and discipleship (poverty, education), not gay rights. Yeah, he talks about gay rights and supports anti-gay positions. Why does that negate all the positive positions he has taken in a dozen other cases?&lt;/em&gt; 

His PEACE foundation also slams atheists, as being &quot;self-centered.&quot;  

Hitler also was thought of quite highly by a large portion of the German population, for taking steps to stop a perceived cultural slide.  They also thought at the time that it was a &quot;positive position&quot; to be taking to defend the Motherland from cultural degradation.  Should we demonize Hitler for a few bad decisions, when the German people thought he represented their fears, and aspirations?</description>
