Shepard Fairey, creator of the iconic Barack Obama image featured on the cover of Time magazine, states on his site ObeyGiant.com that he will be "donating a chunk of the proceeds from an inauguration poster of Obama I was asked to create to the movement to overturn Prop 8" in response to President-elect Obama's selection of religious right leader Rev. Rick Warren to offer the prayer at the presidential inauguration on January 20, 2009.
Rick Jacobs of Campaign Courage puts Barack Obama's selection of Warren in perspective:
When Pastor Rick Warren was asked to clarify this statement -- if he actually equates same-sex marriage with incest, pedophilia and polygamy -- his answer was direct and unequivocal: "Oh, I do."
That didn't stop President-elect Barack Obama from choosing Pastor Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration -- an appalling mistake that will forever tarnish our country's celebration of Obama's historic ascendance to the White House.
