Rachel Maddow covered the issue of Rick Warren banning "unrepentant homosexuals" from his church quite well last night. First, the passage from Saddlebacks' web site:
Finally, a word about being judgmental. It's not judgmental to say that what the Bible calls a sin is a sin, that's just telling the truth. Not being willing to talk to someone caught up in sin, or not believing that they can be forgiven, or thinking that you are not just as much in need of Jesus as they are ... that's being judgmental.
Because membership in a church is an outgrowth of accepting the Lordship and leadership of Jesus in one's life, someone unwilling to repent of their homosexual lifestyle would not be accepted at a member at Saddleback Church.
Nice.
One of the other matters Rachel underscores in her commentary is that Team Obama has "uninvited" close friends of the president-elect when that person's views threatened to politically damage him. In this case it was Jeremiah Wright, when the campaign learned the pastor's inflammatory sermons were going to break loose on the internets and cause a "distraction" from Obama's announcement of his candidacy.
