A Boston-based
activist is using the flap over the choice of conservative
pastor Rick Warren to lead the opening prayer for Barack
Obama's inauguration to his benefit.
Chris Mason is
leading a Rick-a-Thon to spread the word about Warren's
controversial messages pertaining to gay marriage and LGBT
rights. Those interested can pledge a fee for each
minute Warren speaks or a flat rate for the duration
of the prayer.
Throughout the
inaugural festivities, Mason said on his website Rick-a-Thon.com,
signs will be posted all over the capital, showing how much
money has been raised through outrage of Warrens'
invocation.
The proceeds from
the Rick-a-Thon will go to Mason's Driving Equality
project, a 16,000-mile journey across the each state in
the continental U.S. this summer. (Michelle Garcia,
