Openly Gay Episcopal Bishop Eugene Robinson Silenced on HBO Broadcast of Lincoln Memorial Inauguration Concert

While the hundreds of thousands on the National Mall heard Gene Robinson's opening prayer on Sunday, millions around the country missed it, because HBO did not televise his remarks. Obama's inaugural committee is apologizing, saying they had intended for Robinson's remarks to be included in the televised portion of yesterday's program, and they "regret the error." Robinson had been given the slot after gay advocates protested Obama's selection of Rick Warren, a leading evangelical opponent of abortion and same-sex marriage, to give the invocation at today's inauguration.
