God is a "homophobic bigot"; President Obama is proud
“Your God of Leviticus (and of the whole Bible) is clearly a sinful homophobic bigot. He should repent of his sinful homophobia. He should atone for that sin. And he should seek forgiveness for the pain and suffering which his sinful homophobia has needlessly inflicted upon gay people for the past 4000 years. ... It is not homosexuality which is always wrong, immoral, and sinful. It is homophobia, including the homophobia of your god himself which is wrong, immoral, and sinful. And so your god is a sinner….”
-- Homosexual activist Frank Kameny - October 13, 2009, in a letter to Peter LaBarbera
“We are proud of you, Frank, and we are grateful to you for your leadership.”

Wait Wait!
The letter to Peter LaBarbera was dated October 13, 2009, four months after President Obama's June 29, 2009 remarks.
How can Obama be responsible for what Kameny hasn't said yet?
I didn't say Obama was responsible for his remark. But Kameny was an outspoken advocate for years, and Obama found him praise-worthy.
Perhaps Obama will now do a "Rev. Wright" and disown another man he praised because that man has become a political liability.
