PASTOR RICK WARREN:
I am not an anti-gay or anti-gay marriage activist. I never have been, never will be.
During the whole Proposition 8 thing, I never once went to a meeting, never once issued a statement, never — never once even gave an endorsement in the two years Prop 8 was going.
The week before the — the vote, somebody in my church said, Pastor Rick, what — what do you think about this?
And I sent a note to my own members that said, I actually believe that marriage is — really should be defined, that that definition should be — say between a man and a woman.
I don’t know about a note. Though he changed his site after he was chosen by barry. Here’s a statement he issued in October 2008.

WARREN: I urge you to support Proposition 8.
He said to Larry King.
WARREN: I was asked a question that made it sound like I equated gay marriage with pedophilia or incest, which I absolutely do not believe.

Pastor Rick Warren interview with Steven Waldman, editor in chief of Beliefnet.
WARREN: I’m opposed to having a brother and sister be together and calling that marriage.
I’m opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that marriage.
I’m opposed to one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage
WALDMAN: Think those are equivalent to gays getting married?
WARREN: Oh, I do!
Then he sidesteps the Iowa decision.
LARRY KING: Do you, therefore, criticize or not comment on the Iowa court decision to permit gay marriage?
WARREN: Yes. I’m — I’m totally oblivious to — to what — that’s not even my agenda.
[later] It just means that marriage is for a man and a woman.
