President-elect Barack Obama's decision to invite Southern California megachurch Pastor Rick Warren to give the opening invocation at his inauguration on January 20 has sparked an avalanche of criticism from LGBT activists and elected officials - as well as from other liberal and left-leaning Democrats - who have characterized the decision as a slap in the face of gay Americans, a naïve effort to woo Christian evangelists, or both.

Still, other famous gay and lesbian voices, including rocker Melissa Etheridge, have embraced Obama's decision, while, from the other end of the spectrum, some are questioning why religious leaders of any stripe should take part in a civic event of such moment.
