Rick Warren, Part Deux

Picking Rick Warren was never a good idea, but apparently it was a terrible idea. Not only is Rick "I have gay friends" Warren a homophobic minister, he is also hurting rather than helping the movement to reduce AIDS in Africa.

This article, at the Daily Beast, covers the basics of Warren's involvement in Uganda (as does an earlier blog post here). In brief, he is linked to people in Uganda who have crusaded against the use of condoms by burning condoms in effigy, limiting the importation of condoms into the country, and teaching secondary school students that condoms contain small openings through which HIV can spread. Lovely.
