et2c–>I’m actually in the middle of working on a post on that very topic. I was just waiting until after Christmas Day to post it. Take a little break from the whole mess and focus on the Baby Jesus and all that

An online friend just posted a link to Melissa Etheridge's talk with Rick Warren (post-interview). I'm thinking other folks will want to read what she has to say....

Oh God. This is heartbreaking.

I really don’t know what else to say. (Just read a long article on the assault.)

Lord, help.

I appreciate your reporting of this incident. I was just warning of this possibility the other day on my blog. There is quite a bit of ‘infighting’ in our community on the Warren issue and to me, it is indicative of the internalized heterosexism that still exists within many in our community.

It is very apparent to me (and I’m a pretty placid sort of person) that we must, as a community, become more focused and ardent about our march for equality – I am tired, for example, of allowing the mere tolerance of me in my family. For years I overlooked it and I am so tired of it. I can’t understand why some GLBT’s are rationalizing and taking up for Obama’s decision on the Warren matter.

I sure hope someone sends to Obama this news of the gang rape. Perhaps it will enlighten him…
