Make a difference and sign this petition!
Pastor Rick Warren is a staunch supporter of the Proposition 8 bill which will eliminate the chance for Gay and Lesbian couples to marry. His belief is that the bible felt that this is sinful, and should be abolished. This person obviously lives under the ignorant delusion that humanity is not equal.
(If you do believe that his thoughts and theories are right, then please refrain from reading further. This is really a personal opinion about an issue that I feel very strongly about.)
Sign this petition, and say no to Rick Warren's benediction at President Obama's Inauguration:

.com/takeaction/107914679 I wrote this letter when I signed the petition:
Please take the time to consider the disappointing motivations of Pastor Rick Warren. He is someone who chooses to prevent and speak out against equal rights for gay and lesbian couples. Gays and lesbians should have the exact same rights to marry and raise happy families as any other couple. Please do not let someone who lives and breathes ignorance speak a benediction for a new President who seeks to promote Change as the leader of the United States of America. In short, I believe that love is love and shouldn't be classified by gender. If this is any notion of change, then it's one step toward the regression of humanity. Let's really exercise Change in our country, and find someone who cares about the whole of humanity instead of a person who only thinks that his ignorant version of life is the right one. Just a thought. I think that Proposition 8 should be thrown in the toilet and so should the bad ethics and values of Mr. Warren.

I'm watching re-runs of the West Wing lately and there was just an episode, where a reporter hat the same stance on gay/lesbian rights on the account that the Bible says it's a sin. The - fictional - President Bartlett put her in her place so eloquently, citing other examples like, e.g. having to stone a person for (I don't remember what), because the Bible says so. But he does it in such a way that he shows the ignorance of such people without ever yelling or anything..... I wish I had a transcript of that passage!
I'm gonna have to rent all the seasons so that I have it and can show it to people. It's really awesome!
@assipassi - I haven't seen the West Wing yet. I'll have to check it out.
