I found it progressive that Mr. Obama included Gene Robinson in the fan fair. But I found it absolutely irresponsible, apprehensible and insulting that his prayer was not given the respect it deserved. Not only did HBO leave this out but I also heard there were "audio problem". If he were the conservative minister giving the prayer he wouldn't have been sweeped to the back of the bus! Its very, very insulting and patronizing to treat the LGBT community this way. Its just another exaple of the prejudice that still polutes our air ways and society! Members of the LGBT community conitinue to be treated like second class citizens.
