Members of metro Atlanta’s gay community plan to protest Monday when the Rev. Rick Warren speaks during the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Service at Ebenezer Baptist Church.
Warren, the pastor of an evangelical megachurch in California, is known for inspiring Christians across the country to serve the poor and needy. Last summer, he also helped rally support in California to outlaw same-sex marriage.
“Having Rick Warren speak is an affront to the civil rights movement and its tone of unity,” said Todd Vierling of Atlanta, who is helping organize the protest.
Warren declined interviews Tuesday, citing the number of requests.
