Tony Perkins On Rick Warren

Hoping for the best:

Let's hope that Rick Warren will use his channel of communication to the new President to press him for more pro-family policies-rather than simply being used by Mr. Obama to make political inroads with evangelicals.

Of course, being "pro-family" for Perkins and Warren definitionally excludes gay family members. My own view at the end of this deeply upsetting day is that we should all take a deep breath. That doesn't mean forgetting this; or denying the untruths and prejudices of Rick Warren. It means focusing on getting Obama to support the substantive work of equality; and making the case ourselves.
