Josh DuBois evidently was the one who suggest both McClurkin and Warren
and now he is in charge of faith based initiatives.

What it seems like to me is this: Obama’s religous outreach is not witchhunting or targeting gays in any way. But it also is not looking at us as important religious partners. Newsweek columnist Sally Quinn says that DuBois was the person who first floated Rick Warren’s name as a possible inaugural speaker; DuBois, who was in charge of faith-based outreach for the Obama campaign, also put together the program that featured Donnie McClurkin, an “ex-gay” gospel singer who has said that “homosexuality is a curse.”

I have a big problem with the existance of the office in the first place but this makes it worse. I would be appalled if a Republican appointed him and am not happy Obama did. Here is a link to his faith's beliefs.

Of Marriage and Family
We believe in the sanctity of marriage and the sanctity of life. We believe that marriage is a sacrament only to be entered into between a man and a woman. We believe human life to be precious, beginning at conception. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; Jeremiah 1:5).

Are we allowed to get mad yet?
