Reply #61: It wasn't just gay posters who were angry--this straight 57 y o woman

was FURIOUS!


I was further enraged to hear Warren reference Jesus Christ and lead in The Lord's Prayer.
That was just unempathic and intolerant.

There is no national religion in the U.S. The Constitution guarantees it--whether the reich wing fundie types like it or not. It was totally inappropriate to inject Jesus Christ into the invocation
of the inauguration of the President of the United States.

For pete's sake, when hubby and I were married by a Presbyterian minister, both my matron of honor
and his best man were Jewish. We told the minister, up front, keep it inclusive. We were married
in the matron of honor's home. It was a beautiful ceremony, and the minister opened it up
for our guests (50) to express their personal wishes for our happiness during the ceremony.
That was almost 24 years ago in Los Angeles.

Warren was a poor choice from the start and his performance confirmed what many of us --gay and straight--were screaming about prior to the Inaugural.
