More signs that Rick Warren continues to try to downplay his anti-gay advocacy. We're not the only ones to notice Warren going soft on the gays. Frank Rich noted it too in his column yesterday:
More startling still was the abrupt about-face of the Rev. Rick Warren, the hugely popular megachurch leader whose endorsement last year of Proposition 8, California’s same-sex marriage ban, had roiled his appearance at the Obama inaugural. Warren also dropped in on Larry King to declare that he had “never” been and “never will be” an “anti-gay-marriage activist.” This was an unmistakable slap at the National Organization for Marriage, which lavished far more money on Proposition 8 than even James Dobson’s Focus on the Family.If it's not even cool for a religious right leader to be seen as anti-gay, we really have won. And yes, I know - we haven't "won" yet. But our enemy is on the ropes. And while it may not yet be time to celebrate. It's certainly not too early to gloat, just a bit.
