it doesn't cancel. I never called Obama a homophobe. I said simply that he should never have honored Warren by inviting him to give the invocation at the most historic inauguration since Washington's. However, since that is the only topic you want to discuss, I will say again that no one knows whether Obama is a homophobe or not, maybe not even Obama.

No one ought jump to conclusions about someone's internal state of mind/emotions from something like a political appointment. I have little doubt that bigoted politicians have appointed minorities and women for political reasons and also that a homophobic politician is perfectly capable of appointing a gay person if the homophobe thinks it will help him or her in some way.
