Getting in on the game with hands out

Many gays are upset that Obama is continuing the faith-based charity funding instituted by Bush. They aren't satisfied that he says such organizations must follow anti-discrimination laws in their locale because so many cities and states do not include gays in such laws. Should we work to declare the whole program unconstitutional? Is "religion poison and we are fools to drink it"? Or should gay friendly churches make sure they have their hands out to get funding for programs for homeless gay youth, people with AIDS, and other programs for disenfranchised LGBT communities? Given that this president was elected with the help of black churches we would have a hard time shutting the program down. We can play the game like everyone else.
