GAY MARRIAGE: Evangelical Lobbyist Resigns from NAE after Comments on Same Sex Unions

http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/437018940.html

[Christian Newswire] 12 Dec 2008--The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) announced today that its longtime lobbyist and spokesman has resigned. Richard Cizik, Vice President of Government Affairs for the NAE, met with NAE President Leith Anderson and the two mutually concluded that his resignation was "a difficult but appropriate decision."

The resignation follows Cizik's recent controversial comments on National Public Radio, in which he said that he is "shifting" on the issue of marriage and now favors same-sex civil unions, if not same-sex marriage outright. For several years, Cizik has generated criticism for his activism on Global Warming.
