Gay marriage crowd protests Rick Warren's church

Surprise, surprise.  Rick Warren's church gets protested...

Gay rights supporters marched outside the church of evangelical pastor Rick Warren, protesting his selection as an inauguration speaker.

About 100 protesters waved rainbow flags Sunday and voiced their displeasure at Warren for his opposition to gay marriage and at President-elect Barack Obama for choosing him to give the invocation at Tuesday's ceremony.

John Einsohn, one of the protest's organizers, tells the Orange County Register that Warren "preaches intolerance while pretending to be a friend of the gay community."

Uh, huh.  See how they're defining "intolerance" down?  As in, it can now be defined as simply being opposed to gay marriage.

It seems to me that, if we're going to have "tolerance" in this country, then there also has to be "tolerance" for the views of the majority, (as in, the people of over 30 states and counting that have passed amendments to their state constitutions defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman).
