NOTE FROM PAM: Jeff Lutes, executive director of Soulforce, gave me permission to repost his piece about a personal encounter he had with the disingenuous and smarmy Rick Warren, who is now trying to claim he loves the gays even as his long anti-gay record speaks for itself. This incident adds to that record. The Saddleback pastor agreed to meet with a group of gay and lesbian couples led by Jeff -- then Warren did everything in his power to back away from the commitment after the get-together was outed in a Newsweek piece.

I think this gives us a preview as to whether Warren wants to meet with anyone from the LGBT community to discuss his past statements and current views on civil equality.

He did call and talk with Melissa Etheridge however, how come no coverage of that?
