US President-elect Barack Obama has invited gay bishop Gene Robinson to lead prayers at the opening of celebrations next Sunday leading up to his inauguration next week. The invitation will go some way to placate liberal critics in the US who condemned his invitation to the anti-gay evangelical pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at the inauguration itself.
Bishop Robinson was himself among those who attacked Mr Obama over the choice of Rick Warren, describing it as a "slap in the face".
Bishop Robinson, whose consecration in 2003 was met with worldwide protests from the conservative wing of the Anglican Communion, said: "It will be an enormous honour to offer prayers for the country and the new President, standing on the holy ground where the 'I have a dream speech' was delivered by Dr King, surrounded by the inspiring and reconciling words of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
"It is also an indication of the new President’s commitment to being the President of all the people. I am humbled and overjoyed at this invitation, and it will be my great honour to be there representing The Episcopal Church, the people of New Hampshire, and all of us in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community."

Something tells me not to count on it. They will attempt to be on their best behavior for now, since they have to placate the public a little longer until California is in their filthy pockets.

Look more for the childish behavior of those threatening to do something obnoxious during Rick Warren's invocation at the inaugural. This will be every bit as damning in the public's eye as any display of the filthy acts they do in their parades. I'm hoping the media can't help but catch every instance of this for the world to see.
Actually, it’s Vicki Gene Robinson. . .
“I guess Bishop Robinson doesn’t know about: “ If someone strikes you , turn to them the other cheek also””
It would appear so.
But then, Robinson is ignoring the part about God condemning homosexuality as “unnatural.” They do exactly as they please.
And this is just the beginning...
