Religious leaders obviously have every right TO speak out in opposition to anti-discrimination measures, even in degrading terms that Reverend Warren has used with regard to same-sex marriage.

Context
Frank critiques the decision to invite Rick Warren to the inauguration, arguing it undermines Obama's commitment to LGBTQ rights.
