The End Times are Near: Obama Will Have Gays

... and not just in his closet, but in his CABINET!

The Protestant Christian Right (and their allies) are wringing their collective hands and forecasting doom. Why? Because President-elect Barack Obama is including gay people in his administration and has vowed to work toward equality for all Americans.

The chronically hysterical Mat Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel and a frequently cited spokesman for the Protestant Christian Right, recently wailed to the Baptist Press, "I would consider him [Obama] to be the biggest threat to religious liberty we've ever had because he will push the homosexual agenda." Mr. Staver was commenting on one of the President-elect's statements:

While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. --Barack Obama, June 1, 2007
