If Obama based his choices on each individual's stand, he wouldn't be able to appoint very many people. Same with Warren giving the invocation. I don't know exactly why he was chosen or whose decision was the final one. I don't like it at all. But exclusion based on homophobia would rule out a lot of people being chosen for this administration and even for the ceremonies. ("Hidden" homophobia is still homophobia.)
Obama has to be inclusive. If that means including someone who is respected by many Americans but derided by others, so be it.
Flames & pile-ons will be ignored. I'm thinking out loud here. What are your thoughts?
