I am totally on board with GLBT rights, but I also think that scuttling the best hope for progress for the cause over a douchebag religious leader (who is getting plenty of pushback from his hateful followers, too) is undoing our own hopes for momentum.
IOW, I *get* it that Warren is wrong and a jerk on this topic (women's rights, too, incidentally!), but I also believe there's a long road ahead to make American society blossom into understanding and acceptance, and trying to sabotage this first step of electing someone who, whether we like every move he makes or not, is genuinely on board for major evolution of our society, is just going to make us lose credibility. I would be much, much happer were Warren not there, and I wrote Obama a letter of protest, but I won't boycott or undermine Obama over it. Not this early on.
Oh, and on the much-blogged-about topic of the "wasteful inaugural events"?
