(from the Facebook group http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=40933512660)

1. The Human RIghts Campaign will be on EVERY news source tonight speaking out about this. Please tell your friends and family. Here’s a list of TV spots. Let’s educate the movable middle by getting everyone to see at least one of these spots.

2. Come out on December 20th to Light up the Night for Equal Rights and show the nation that we are one strong, united, and very visible voice! A reader just commented on our Rick Warren post that Evangelicals make up 7-16% of our country and we make up 10%. Why do they get representation and we do not? Make your voice heard on December 20th and spread the word of equality. Rick Warren Views us as 2nd Class Citizens… This needs to be known!

3. Equality California has stepped up to provide a legitimate petition (since there are many out there) to get Rick Warren taken off of the list of speakers on inauguration day. Please sign the petition. Print it out and gather signatures at your local Light up the Night event and forward the link to everyone.

4. National Food Drive for Equality

11/28 Natl Food Drive for Equality - Join the Impact In the spirit of the holiday season, let's set aside our own struggles and needs, to demonstrate to the nation and the world the collective power of the LGBTQ community to be a force of betterment for all society.

Beginning on November 28th, 2008 and going until we Light Up the Night for Equal Rights on December 20th, JoinTheImpact is launching the first national LGBTQ Food Drive for Equality!

Through this event, we will work to reach out not only to those who have worked alongside us, but to organizations and individuals that fear us and oppose our cause by donating to faith based food pantries.

Our efforts to alleviate the hunger America is facing in this difficult time will be indiscriminate with regards to creed or political philosophy. These are gaps we can and must bridge if we are going to achieve equality in this country.

The above sounds like what Obama's doing with the Warren choice. Flame hell outta me but I'm just saying...for right or wrong - it's what he's trying to do.

5. Heres the problem though...

Obama is not reaching out to the gay community at all right now. After the election he made no statements about prop 8 despite hundreds of thousands of people marching in the streets. Obama is only reaching out to the homophobic minister - he is not creating dialog between Evangelicals and GLBT persons.

I do support the food drive 100% though. It does not put those that work against us in a position of respect on the national stage without our presence. It puts real gay people in touch with real evangelicals.
