An update on the story we just reported:
Rev. Louie Giglio, who had been announced as the pastor to give the invocation at the presidential inauguration, has now pulled himself out of the ceremony, after criticism of his previous anti-gay comments and actions, sources confirmed to ABC News.
Giglio, who is now Pastor at Passion City Church in Georgia and his role at Obama’s second inauguration was first announced Tuesday. But the liberal website Thinkprogress reported Wednesday on video of Giglioi delivering a sermon in the mid-1990s in which he said homosexuality is a sin and advocated gay “recovery.” (ABCNews The Note)

Mr. Giglio's comments are *not* "anti-gay." The term "anti-gay" implies "anti-person" to some. Mr. Giglio's comments are "anti-gay-lifestyle." Thus, his comments are pro-person.
Consider that some persons routinely overeat. The First Lady is against overeating because she cares about the overeater. In the same way, Mr. Giglio is against self-abusing because he cares about the self-abusers. Self-abuse is what the homosexual lifestyle is. Therefore, anyone who promotes the homosexual lifestyle is promoting self-abuse. The homosexual lifestyle is promoted by same-sex marriage advocates. Hence, it's the SSM supporters who are anti-person.
I'm guessing Rev. Giglio was given an ultimatum - either resign voluntarily or be removed.
