Pastor withdraws from Obama inauguration over sermon on gays

An Atlanta pastor who was picked to deliver the benediction at President Barack Obama's inauguration this month has withdrawn from the ceremony amid a controversy over a sermon he apparently preached on homosexuality in the 1990s.

The Rev. Louis Giglio sent a letter of withdrawal to the Presidential Inaugural
Committee.

Criticism over the selection swirled after the liberal website Think Progress posted a
sermon that it said Giglio gave in the mid-1990s, a speech the site called
"vehemently anti-gay."
