		<description>I have to ditto Leonardo on this one.

Unfortunately, it seems like we are in a &quot;either you&#039;re with us head to toe, or against us&quot; strategy. Why? The religious right refuses and trades out current sex education for archaic outdated hypnotizing laws that were unfit then and are unfit now. Gays had to take the sex education class about themselves just being themselves, and we are the walking education the right refuses to study without prejudice, hence standoff.

I think Rick Warren or anyone else on the right, deserves no Kudos for lack of education. He has money and time to do it. He chooses to push fighting and hating instead.

Though you may want a more compassionate tone for Ricky, I&#039;d say lets get our rights fully in place before we start handing out handkerchiefs to the right wing revers-a-chats, control freaks and angry cry babies. It&#039;s all about the dollars for many and Rick may just be feeling the pinch.

It&#039;s not so enticing to toss roses when they are crying because they can&#039;t kill mame or degrade us for just a moment in time to fill their coffers.</description>

		<description>supporting and affiliating with some of the most brutally anti-gay forces in Africa place him - at least - as an enabler of anti-gay bigotry and human rights violations.

It´s really important the African connection is known to the fullest extent that Warren does damage.  As he embraced, Anglican Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria and Anglican Archibshiop Henri Orombi of Uganda he VALIDATED their ¨witch hunts¨ and persecution of LGBT.  These are not words.  In Uganda, as you know, the uproar against LGBT has achieved knew heights of terror and damnation, in Nigeria, Akinola and his buddies endorsed dangerous anti-LGBT that punishes even our family and friends.

Please don´t makes excuses for Warren, who is a sucker if he believes he does no harm to his LGBT ¨friends.¨ Warren is a accessory to the crimes of hate, generated at Church, in Africa.  Warren ought redeem himself from participating in such dangerous grandstanding antics.</description>
