''Mr. Warren compared same-sex couples to incest. I found that deeply offensive and unfair.... If he was inviting the Rev. Warren to participate in a forum and to make a speech, that would be a good thing. But being singled out to give the prayer at the inauguration is a high honor. It has traditionally given as a mark of great respect. And, yes, I think it was wrong to single him out for this mark of respect.''

Representative Barney Frank [D-MA] sharing his opinion of President-elect Barack Obama's decision to include Rev. Rick Warren in the upcoming Inauguration ceremony. Warren, in spite of his own claims to have 100+ gay friends, has recently called homosexuality a weakness of sexual immaturity that can be controlled through delayed gratification; has likened gay marriage to pedophilia and incest; and, in part, was responsible for motivating voters to overturn same-sex marriage in California last month.
