and you continue to say that 'national unity' is the only way of achieving human rights. That's ridiculous. You think that Warren gets to veto other people's rights - while he continues to insult gay people, everyone just has to say "oh well, Rick Warren doesn't agree, so we have to stop until he feels like changing his mind". No, that wasn't how Lincoln did things. It wasn't how Martin Luther King, or LBJ, did things. You've given up on human rights, when you claim that it's a matter of "this is how the world is", and you'll let Warren dictate that from now on. You are fitting the world to a right wingnut's beliefs.

The rights were taken away long ago. Putting Warren forward as one of the 2 preachers most admired by Obama just reinforces the existing discrimination.
