1. Where are women on the Warren issue?
I completely support the outrage from the gay community.

But I don't understand why women are being so...silent.

6. Quite a few of us women are furious about it.
A person can be female and also be part of the gay community. I mean, I'm sure you know that, but your post struck me as sort of funny...

9. LOL you're right, it does sound funny
But I see you knew what I meant.

Maybe it's my age. The women's movement was front and center. And an anti-abortion nut like Warren would have been crucified.

11. It's a good point. There are so many reasons to be appalled by Warren.
Where are all the human rights groups?

16. I'm not silent.
I think that Warren was a big blunder and I wonder what the hell went through Obama's mind to think that he would be acceptable to most of the people who voted him into office. Did Warren offend gays? Check. Women? Check. Jewish people? Check.

Geez, might as well have reached out to Oral Roberts. Pity he missed inviting Falwell........

5. Or as former NY Congressman Mario Biaggi once said,
when speaking at an early gay community candidate's forum in NYC(he was running in the '73 mayor's race)

"I got no problem with your problem".

14. I don't want you to shut up at all. I would advise that LGBT leaders work on an intelligent strategy
I don't understand what the strategy is in picking a fight over Warren. If there is an objective in this fight, what is it?

17. Indiana Jones is our leader. We elected him this morning during the daily gay conference.
As you know, every day at dawn all gay people all over the world gather around our fax machines (we're behind the times, technologically speaking - all this activism for our selfish rights has wiped out the IT upgrade slush fund, but I digress) and reach consensus on "the gay issue" of the day. Elton John was our leader until this morning, when we all voted Indy into the position.

So he's our leader now. We've gone back to engaging in kinky sex and whatever else we perverts do all day long. You work it out with Indy, kay?

20. Your response is anger. You're entitled to it but it doesn't mean you will get anywhere with it.
Edited on Fri Dec-19-08 01:41 AM by kwenu
And why would anyone ever want to abandon kinky sex?

There is a lot of understandably upset people with this issue. I don't want to make it worse so I am going to sit back and leave these posts for others.

18. "Picking a fight" with someone who says I am like a child molester.
Yeah, I'm the one picking a fight.

19. We must engage with those who call us child molesters!
Nobody ever won rights by being rude! We must sit down and talk with them! It's the only way!!!

If you don't agree then you are a selfish bigot pervert!!!!!

21. Did Warren make this comparison? If so, I didn't know that. This kind of fact is helpful.
That angry stream of consciousness stuff doesn't make a point and isn't helpful. At least, not to a person like me who wants to know what the issue is.

23. If you go to the Saddleback Church website, you can read all about his views.
There are numerous threads here linking to statements and videos. None of these are secrets. Rick Warren is proud of his beliefs.

He recently said that gay marriage is the same as incest and pedophilia.

24. You don't know the issues but giving adivce on gay strategy?
Now that's hilarious.

"I would advise that LGBT leaders work on an intelligent strategy..." - kwenu

"Did Warren make this comparison? If so, I didn't know that. This kind of fact is helpful." - kwenu

>>So, he said we’re no better than the lowest criminals — even serial-killing and elderly-raping felons think child molesters are the lowest of the low — and then he laughs when we call him on it.

By the way, he’s not homophobic beause he now has “a hundred gay friends.” Would just one of those gay friends please contact me?<<

25. It's scary how close your post is to some of the non-sarcastic statements on DU.
Actually, it's more sad than scary.

27. Where are poor people?
people who have lost jobs, houses, etc? The people whose interests may be represented in this move? Oh yeah they didn't donate, and don't have as much shouting power.

And what about the people who have lost homes to natural disasters? Many in southern rural areas people who tend to be religious and looking for a brighter day?
