“Considering we don’t support gay marriage and DADT isn’t part of our 2011 legislative agenda, I’m not sure how this effects us at all.” – Chris Barron, telling Red State that GOProud will have no problem adhering to new CPAC rules which stipulate that any organization supporting LGBT rights may not attend in the future. A Red State commenter observes: …

Wingnut gadfly and perennial failed GOP presidential candidate Alan Keyes is attacking Sarah Palin for endorsing GOProud’s appearance at CPAC last week. According to Keyes, Palin just doesn’t understand that “legitimizing homosexuality is a life-and-death issue.” And will mean the end of America. Or something. From Keyes’ column published today by World Net Daily: Why, you rightly ask, would someone …

“We’ll always be inclusive in regards to who comes to CPAC — regardless of your ethnic origin, gender, color of your skin or orientation. You’re always welcome as an individual. The challenge is always, in terms of our participating organizations, is are you within the sandbox of our principles or not. And if you’re not, your individual members are welcome …

Slate’s Dave Weigel points out this video shot at CPAC in which the leader of a white supremacist group tries to recruit student attendees to his cause. They aren’t having it.

SiriusXM host Michelangelo Signorile has posted an audio clip of today’s on-air meltdown by GOProud chairman Chris Barron. Signorile writes: Barron has come on the show several times in he past. My program was among the first media outlets to give his group any attention when it first broke off from the Log Cabin Republicans. We’ve had a spirited but …

World Net Daily reports that the board of directors of the governing organization of CPAC has voted to exclude GOProud (and any other “homosexual advocacy” group) from next year’s convention. This move comes after GOProud chairman Chris Barron came under fire for referring to some conservative leaders as “bigots.” Which they are, of course, but Barron had violated Reagan’s Eleventh …

After her CPAC declaration that “gays are natural conservatives” and should be actively recruited by the GOP, Ann Coulter has been the subject of blistering attacks across the right-o-sphere. Here’s just a sampling of the reactions on Free Republic: -“Big tent fag hag and muslim bodily fluids swapper.”-“I have no tolerance for homo-tolerants. Boo & shame on you Ann. You …

This week Porno Pete paid for a full-page ad in the Washington Times denouncing fellow conservatives for allowing GOProud to attend CPAC. Ignore all THAT. Actually, it’s “hateful rad gay lefties” that don’t want conservatives talking with gays. Whatever works in the name of feeding Petey’s new love affair with the homocons at Gay Patriot, who enthusiastically tweeted back “TRUTH! …

During her keynote at CPAC tonight, Ann Coulter responded to a question about the GOProud kerfuffle by saying, “I am as born again evangelical Christian as they come and I’m a friend of gays.” Scattered applause followed. Of course, Coulter’s definition of “friend” means opposing her friends’ civil rights and calling them “faggots” right to their faces. Coulter then denounced …

Whackadoodle libertarian Ron Paul, whose supporters swarm CPAC every year, has unsurprisingly won the convention’s 2012 presidential straw poll for the second year in a row. However not to be dismissed in Paul’s win is the effect of the absence of the several major conservative groups who boycotted this year over GOProud. Sarah Palin only got 3%.

Today openly lesbian right-wing radio host Tammy Bruce announced her resignation from GOProud’s board of directors. This move comes after widespread wingnut condemnation of GOProud chairman Chris Barron for calling high-profile anti-gay activist Cleta Mitchell a “bigot” in an interview with Metro Weekly. From Bruce’s website: I want to let you know that after being a supporter and serving as …

Our favorite loony tunes anti-gay activist, Eugene Delgaudio, writes today to brag about his “raid” on CPAC yesterday for allowing GOProud’s presence. More than once I had to rush in and rescue minors and other unsuspecting conservatives from these homosexuals who seek to worm their way into positions of trust and authority. They deceive the naive with talk of how …

“Hopefully, people will learn from the various experiences of gay people at this year’s CPAC, showing that while most rank-and-file conservatives are willing to work alongside gay conservatives, some are not wiling to do so if such association means the exclusion of social conservatives. Despite some misunderstandings expressed in the comment section to the blog and elsewhere, we do not …

Believe it or not, it’s going to be a trilogy. Not by coincidence, the release date is April 15th. Also uncoincidentally, the trailer has been released during CPAC.

How much do some CPAC attendees want Pawlenty to be the next president? So much so that they’ll launch into chants of “USA! USA!” after the most tepid of statements.

“I don’t really like gay people,” sniffs GOProud member Matt Hissey. “Stereotypical gay people frustrate me,” he adds with a dramatic toss of his frosted blond hair before launching into an attack on nellie men who need to be more “normal and straight-acting.”UPDATE: JMG readers Vincent and Damian remind us that this isn’t the first time Hissey has appeared on …

Over at Slate, Dave Weigel has recapped last night’s GOProud party at CPAC, which sported an open bar sponsored by the Poker Players Alliance, a group that lobbies lawmakers for the legalization of internet gambling. I don’t recall having seen online poker on GOProud’s 2011 agenda, but whatevs, because this is the best part of Weigel’s review: A word about …
