Gay activists love attacking symbols. Warren is a symbol representing Christianity and the society that is tolerant, but not accepting of, everything gay.

I had a debate with a guy on the net concerning gay marriage. In his eyeview, gay marriage is an absolute right and he feels the US Supreme Court will see it as a 14th Amendment issue and tell all the states that they should be accepting of gay marriage.

I pointed out that for the past 15 years or so, the Supremes have felt that most issues are state issues, and even the First Circuit Court of Appeals, a very left leaning body based in San Francisco ruled it a state issue. He told me I was full of it when I told him he didn't have a legal leg to stand on.

Anyway, the recent Prop 8 issue in California was passed when 75% of the voting public had their say. If the turnout had been only 15% or so, I could see their beef, but it's obvious that most of the public does not want gay marriage, end, finale, fin, endo.

The gays had their day in the sun, and they lost, and they can't stand it. The protests started the day after the election. Hollywood is 100% behind the gays. Personally, I think Hollywood should be boycotted, but that's just one man's opinion.

What say you?

Dudester... if gay people were denied the right to marry people of the opposite sex, then the 14th amendment would apply. But I think most constitutional scholars would argue the amendment couldn't be used as a vehicle to re-define the concept of marriage. Even if a future supreme court ruled in favor of same sex marriage, the debate wouldn't end there. Such a ruling would trigger a huge movement to pass a constitutional amendment reaffirming marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Ford, of anything I have seen in the last few years, this is the clearest evidence that the issue of the acceptance of the homosexual agenda will be THE dividing issue in the coming years.

Here is where I get that: Warren, probably more than anyone in the evangelical camp (whatever that is these days), has attempted to be everything to everyone. He is helping with AIDS, hunger, the environment, etc. But, even with all of that "reaching out" to liberals, this one issue is enough to disqualify him. Notice that the NARAL/Pro-Abortion people are not complaining that an outspoken opponent of abortion is offering the invocation. All of this to say, homosexuality will be compared to a civil rights issue in the coming months and years, just like race, and the dividing line will be just as bright, and it will be just as aggressive and just as violent. (Its comparison to race is disingenuous, at best, however.)

Some are asking in the Christian community whether homosexuality will bring judgment on America. The answer to that is "No. Homosexuality IS the judgment." Romans 1 is chilling in its prediction of this over 2,000 years ago. http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=rom+1&src=esv.org>
On a personal note, I am very disappointed in Warren offering the invocation for the most pro-child killing politician in America today. This shows his profound lack of judgment and desire to please man, not God. But, it is not surprising given the watered-down message he teaches.

Obama opposes gay marriage, but full recognition of gay civil unions and the benefits companies may give those couples and the ability for partners to be with their loved ones in the hospital, etc.

Who cares about visits to hospitals. I'm bothered by actual insurance coverage of gay 'couples'. If one works and the other doesn't, the one that doesn't shouldn't be covered unless they pay for their own individual plan.
