Splashed across the news yesterday was the story that the gay and lesbian community is upset that Obama has given a prime speaking slot in the Inauguration ceremony to Rick Warren. They believe that he should be removed from the slot because he is opposed to gay and lesbian marriage. Surely they could find someone else to be upset at than Warren. He is one of the more moderate evangelists I can think of; it is not like Obama chose someone like Dobson.
One of the problems we have now are things just like this: an unwillingness to compromise on anything. If we disagree with someone's stance on an issue we try to exclude them from anything we are involved in. I congratulate Obama for so far being inclusive in who he has chosen to speak in his inauguration ceremony and who he has selected for his cabinet.
