Andrew Sullivan on Obama’s invitation to Warren
Sullivan is both gay and conservative, and he takes a very sensible position on Obama’s invitation to Rick Warren to give the invocation at the inauguration. It’s not a “slap in the face” to gays and lesbians (and we can’t drop that expression too soon for me), but rather an assumption that gays and lesbians are mature and rational enough to understand that Obama is trying to build bridges to move his program forward (and perhaps giving Warren a leg up to marginalize James Dobson and his ilk).
I believe Warren took a considerable amount of flak for inviting Obama to speak at his church.
