Gay Rights Group Protests Warren — With Donuts

Same-sex marriage supporters are protesting the selection of Rick Warren to give the inauguration invocation by sending him money for donuts.

ZeroH8.tv, an online group formed to protest California’s same-sex marriage ban, has started a campaign urging its followers to buy Dunkin’ Donuts gift cards for Warren, an evangelical pastor who supported the ban. The prohibition was approved in a ballot initiative last month.

Warren has since been selected by President-elect Obama to appear during the inaugural ceremonies in January, disappointing Obama’s liberal supporters.

The group is making their stand with donuts because Warren said last week that he had given donuts to gay rights supporters when they protested outside his church in Southern California.

“I have always treated them with respect,” Warren said on NBC last week. “When the protesters came we served them water and donuts”The group says it aims to return the favor. “It is the least we can do. Let’s send him donuts. Lots of ’em,” ZeroH8.tv says on its website.

The group has designed a gift card to send to Warren that features two men kissing. See it below.
