Gay leaders furious with Obama-Yahoo News

“It’s a huge mistake,” said California gay rights activist Rick Jacobs, who chairs the state’s Courage Campaign. “He’s really the wrong person to lead the president into office.

“Can you imagine if he had a man of God doing the invocation who had deliberately said that Jews are not going to be saved and therefore should be excluded from what’s going on in America? People would be up in arms,” he said.

Jeez, there's more fuss about this than there was over Obama having a Zune. There also seems to be little to no mention of the gay-friendly preacher who's doing the benediction, which should be a lot higher on the news charts.

Obama’s move may deepen some apparent distance between him among gays and lesbians, one of the very few core Democratic groups among whom his performance was worse than John Kerry’s in 2004.

I'm honestly surprised by this bit. That'll teach me to think of LiveJournal as a representative sample.
