On Obama: Gay Activists Should Keep Quiet

At a time when gay leaders should be apologizing to and trying to build bridges with African-Americans after exposing their closeted racism towards Blacks over the passage of California's Proposition 8, the gays are at it again.

President-elect Barack Obama isn't even in office yet and they are all up in arms over the inaugural invitation of evangelical pastor Rick Warren simply because Warren opposes gay marriage.

Now me personally, I'd have much rather seen Dr. Jeremiah Wright tapped to give the invocation over Warren, but then I guess they'd have a problem with that too. Because while Wright is one of the few Black pastors on record supporting equal rights for lesbians and gays,
most whites consider him a racist.
