We reject this GOProduct -- but the GOPot-stirring is delicious!
We've already criticized GOProud for inviting Ann Coulter to headline an upcoming benefit. And we stand by that 100%. Ann's on record saying ridiculously nasty things and carelessly tossing around hurtful words and ideas that target both LGBT people and their rights. A forum or debate or growth session would be fine. But a banquet feting this particular political figure as a "right wing Judy Garland," at this point in time, with no sort of apology or seeming change of heart on Ann's side, is an indefensible booking for any group that cares deeply about true parity for LGBT people. It just is. Regardless of party affiliation, btw.
But, having said all that: We simply LOVE the fallout that comes from GOProud's subversion. Because it makes people like Peter LaBarbera go absolutely apesh*t:
One must ask Coulter, who professes Christianity:
Would you speak at an event for “Republicans For Responsible Porn Use,” or “Republicans for Higher Taxes,” or Republicans for Choice (Abortion) — if such groups took legitimately conservative positions on other issues like gun rights?
Does God condemn only Democratic “men who lie with a male as one lies with a woman” – while giving Republican sodomists a pass?
Homosexual practice may be hip in New York City, but objectively it is always wrong and unnatural, and often unhealthy. Thankfully it’s also changeable, as proved by thousands of ex-gay men and ex-lesbians. Ann: why don’t you speak instead at a conference for former homosexuals? It’s not PC, but it would be far more consistent with your conservative principles than celebrating GOProud – which works directly against the Republican Party’s pro-family and pro-marriage platform.
Please reconsider and nix your GOProud talk — in the name of true conservatism.
