Even if you suspect the whole “unity” thing is really just about politics, the selection of Warren still makes good sense, including for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Americans. It is a stroke of political brilliance to recruit a conservative megapastor in support of a president-elect who is arguably the most pro-gay, pro-choice and progressive in our history. That’s the kind of political dividend you get from focusing on common ground—like Warren’s support for the fight against global warming and AIDS.
