Inaugural Committee will rebroadcast Robinson on Mall

Citizens turned out on the Mall to watch the event on giant screens tomorrow will have a second chance to see the invocation by Gene Robinson, the gay Episcopal bishop, a source at the Presidential Inauguration Committee said.

"Yesterday's program will be shown on the jumbo screens on the Mall to entertain the assembled crowd. Tomorrow's version will include Robinson's prayer," the source said.

A spokesman for the Inaugural Committee, Josh Earnest, also said that HBO's rights to yesterday's event are limited: the committee owns the copyright to the event, but HBO has a license to broadcast it for six months. That makes it less likely that the concert will be kept out of the historical record of, for instance, documentaries of the event.

3. Any evidence that Obama is not homophobic and out to slight
the GLBT community, tends to be ignored. It's a shame.

15. you know, sometimes it's as if you look for a homophobic slur anywhere you can find one.
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 04:26 PM by dionysus
even if it's imaginary.

do you really think he said "damn straight" with a homophobic context?

19. I'm no homophobe...
Gay rights are civil rights. In 50 years people will look at homophobes of today in the same way that society currently views the racists of the 1950's and 1960's.

I'm pretty offended by it actually. Being wrongfully accused of something isn't funny at all to me. :(

The poster has only marginalized herself, not you.

Unless that was a slur. With you, it's always a possibility.

on their hatred of Obama. You can't possibly expect them to do that, lol.

It amazes me that you relentlessly scurry to post in every thread whose subject might be of interest to gays, and then post disparaging things when DU's gays (not surprisingly) show interest in the thread.
....but dont let us keep you from enjoying an inauguration.
Be a shame to miss it. I think this might be one your grandchildren ask you about.

Having it come directly on the heels of Martin Luther King's day, makes it even more neat, like an eclipse .
Please dont miss it.

47. Obama is a well oiled machine, perfect in every way, until it comes to what Obama's supporters don't
wish to take responsibility for what he has done. Sorry but until the event happens and Robinson is actually broadcast on those jumbotrons I am not going to just say OK it will happen.

12. OK so since HBO doesn't actually own it...
Hopefully the administration can release it on DVD in its entirety. Glad they are rebroadcasting it for the people at the Inauguration tomorrow. That will make their time waiting go by so much faster.

33. Well, the more people see it the better. But I think most people at the
inauguration tomorrow are Dems so they probably don't need convicting that gays deserve equal rights. However, the more it is seen in general the better.

The Obama team seems to be going out of their way to make sure this gets seen...

36. this is wonderful news!
It was a beautiful prayer and a very important message.

I hope this way the invocation ends up getting more air time, and more discussion from the pundits, than it would have if it had been shown as it was supposed to have been.

:applause:

He and the orchestra needed a little more rehearsal, I think.

That's live TV for you.

50. We will see what happens
Clearly, what is said and what gets done are not always the same thing. No one here has done well predicting the future. So we'll see if they show it, at least to the gathered people on the mall. Before they broadcast Rick Warren to the entire world as a representative of America. Things are what they are.
But let's just drop this game of knowing the future. What happens happens, but it has not as yet.
