      <![CDATA[anyone here check out melissa etheridge's wife's perspective on Rick Warren?<br />
Unlike the majority posting here, she's willing to reach out to someone who doesn't (yet) agree with her entirely. Partly, I suspect, as a means to an end, and also as a typical gesture of judeo-christian-buddhist-muslim-etc charity. Sullivan is on board, too.<br />
I hate to say it, but that's probably the only way to get anywhere with marriage equality.<br />
Insisting over and over that you're right doesn't help - you have to show them why they should care, because apparently, you need their support. <br />
Otherwise, they can and will inflict a world of hurt upon you, because in a down economy that is only getting worse, the fight for marriage equality will seem to many to be an unnecessary remnant of political correctness.<br />
<br />
Marriage equality is closer than the people proving their superiority by trashing Rick Warren will let you acknowledge. Show that you're better and more gracious, and thereby help win over voters on the other side one at a time. It will happen. Eyes on the prize.

      <![CDATA[<blockquote> Funny because now everytime I see him it reminds me that Obama is probably a homophobe.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Perhaps that's why he just appointed an out <a href="http://news.morningstar.com/newsnet/ViewNews.aspx?article=/DJ/200812101212DOWJONESDJONLINE000685_univ.xml">lesbian</a> to a cabinet-level position.  Or why he's reportedly vetting an openly gay man to be <a href="http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/12/19/obama-vetting-first-openly-gay-military-chief/">Secretary of the Navy</a>.
