Openly Gay Bishop Kicking Off Obama's Inauguration

Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, the openly gay Episcopalian New Hampshire bishop whose ordination precipitated a mini-schism within his own church, will deliver the opening invocation of President Barack Obama's Inauguration this Sunday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. An unnamed source within the incoming Obama administration says that Bishop Robinson's inclusion was planned before the controversy over Rick Warren but predicts that critics will suggest otherwise.
