Rick Warren Backpedals on Gay Marriage Bill
The Voice Magazine ^ | April 8, 2009 | Jennifer LeClaire

Posted on 04/08/2009 11:23:48 AM PDT by truthnomatterwhat

As the gay marriage movement begins to gain momentum, Pastor Rick Warren, best known for his best-selling book The Purpose Driven Life, is apologizing to the gay community for making comments supporting California’s Proposition 8.

During a Monday on Larry King Live, the mega-church pastor claims he “never once even gave an endorsement” of the marriage amendment only to later state that he regretted supporting it. Proposition 8 protects the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, thereby eliminating same-sex couple’s right to marry.

Although Warren publicly spoke out in support of Proposition 8 just weeks before the election, he backpedaled during his interview on CNN. “During the whole Proposition 8 thing,” Warren insisted, “I never once went to a meeting, never once issued a statement, never – never once even gave an endorsement in the two years Prop. 8 was going.”

Is there any truth to the rumor that the sequel will be “The Bendover I’ll Drive Life?”

I never knew Prop 8 was going two years. I thought it was in response to the California Supreme Court ruling last April.

On the other hand, I have NO regrets for voting in favor of prop 8, and will vote to protect the institution of marriage from the gay mob as many times as it takes.

Any respect I ever had for Rick Warren has now been lost, never to return.

Yes, and it also makes him a moron. (Really, how hard is it to predict that somebody is going to sift through your recorded public statements to catch you out on such an obvious contradiction?)
