While I was still discontentedly mulling Obama’s bizarre choice of Rick Warren as Grand Homo-hater Pulpit Master of Inauguration, the following thoughtful Op-Ed caught my eye:

You’re Likeable Enough, Gay People
(from Frank Rich, NYTimes, 12/27/2008)

This article could have also included:
- A reminder about some of the widespread Prop 8 myths, including the incorrect notion that black and Latino voters were the driving force behind Prop 8 in CA (they were NOT), explained here: FiveThirtyEight.com.
- How about some sociohistorical context to inform readers about racism in the gay community and homophobia in the black community? If you don’t already know, try Google.

Maybe Obama’s planning a bait and switch and will force Warren to get gay married at the podium that day? But that’s really the only thing that would make me laugh about the choice… right now.
