Good afternoon,

We may have a president-elect immeasurably more supportive of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community's rights than his predecessor, but that certainly doesn't guarantee smooth sailing toward equality. This is going to be a long, hard fight, and the Human Rights Campaign won't stop fighting it until it's over—regardless of who's in office.

This week, the presidential inaugural committee announced that anti-LGBT Rev. Rick Warren would be delivering the invocation at President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration. Warren was a vocal supporter of California's Prop 8 and has publicly equated loving, committed same-sex relationships with pedophilia and polygamy.
