Warren has worked to shift the evangelical movement away from an exclusive focus on traditional evangelical social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage (regarding the latter, he called divorce a greater threat to the American family[29]), to broader social action. Warren's five-point plan for global action, the P.E.A.C.E. Plan, calls for church-led efforts to tackle global poverty and disease, including the spread of HIV/AIDS, and to support literacy and education efforts around the world. In February 2006, he signed a statement backing a major initiative to combat global warming, thus breaking with other conservative, high-profile evangelical leaders, who had opposed such a move.[30]

Warren's softer tone on political issues once central to U.S. evangelicals and his concern for issues more commonly associated with the political left have resulted in the characterization of Warren as one of a "new breed of evangelical leaders."[31] But it has also been misunderstood by the media, according to Warren, as indicating a shift in position on traditional evangelical issues.[32]

“Rick Warren on Gay Marriage: ‘Tolerance Does Not Mean Approval”

“Gay marriage is a very personal question,” Warren responded when asked why he does not support it. “I have biblical views regarding what marriage is about. I am not in favor of redefining marriage, I'm not. It's not illegal to have a gay relationship, so it's not a big issue to me.”

Rick Warren does NOT support gay marriage, therefore your petty and self righteous demagoguery only makes you look bad.

The man lost his son to suicide. So you take the opportunity to attack the man over his politics and less than desirable church leadership. That makes you an asshole.
