“Oh, but what about them? He [Barney Frank] chooses a party that supports his values. They’ve chosen a party that supports their income — a party that denigrates them and treats them with disrespect.” – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, on the attacks made on Frank by the likes of GOProud. Hit the link for the Advocate’s cover profile on …

Mitt Romney: I Oppose Same-Sex Marriage But Do Not Discriminate Against Gays

At this morning’s GOP debate, the moderator tried to trip up Mitt Romney by quoting his 1994 pro-gay comment to Boston’s Bay Windows, a statement which is still denounced today by the anti-gay industry. Romney opened by restating his opposition to same-sex marriage, then launched into a vow of non-discrimination in other areas. Think Progress blogger Zack Ford reacted.RELATED: Immediately …

HomoQuotable – Jimmy LaSalvia

“Ann Coulter, the honorary chair of GOProud’s Advisory Council, is rarely wrong — and when it comes to the 2012 Republican nomination, she is spot on: If conservatives want to defeat Barack Obama, then it is time to rally around former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. [snip] Not only do I believe Mitt Romney should be the nominee, in the wake …

GOProud Cheers Romney & Paul

GOProud has issued a press release cheering the caucus results of Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. They make no mention of Rick Santorum. “While there are certainly big differences between Governor Romney and Congressman Paul, especially when it comes to foreign policy, both chose to emphasize issues like the economy and the size of government over demonizing gay people. We …

HomoQuotable – Chris Barron

“A Santorum win means nothing for ‘LGBT equality.’ A Santorum win would be, however, great news for Mitt Romney. Santorum has no money and no organization outside of Iowa and won’t even appear on the ballot in several states. A win by Santorum will expedite Mitt Romney’s path to the nomination, which is good news for Americans — gay and …

GOProud’s Best Year Ever?

That “best year ever” bar has been set pretty low, hasn’t it? Let’s recap, shall we? In 2011 we saw GOProud publicly disinvited from the nation’s largest annual wingnut conference. We saw GOProud denounced and ridiculed by conservative icons. We saw GOProud members involved in two laughable “hate crime” incidents that were widely mocked across the blogosphere as having been …

HomoQuotable – Chris Barron

“The liberal press is at it again, attempting to mischaracterize the words of a Republican Presidential candidate. Speaker Gingrich said absolutely nothing wrong in his exchange with the gay Iowa voter. Indeed, Gingrich made it clear that gay people who care about job creation, national security and a better future for our country should support his campaign. Speaker Gingrich handled …

Wingnut Radio Host Denounces Perry

“When you put someone in place in your organization, regardless of whether they’re a practicing homosexual, a polygamist, a pedophile, a thief, a rapist or any other form of behavior that violates the natural law, you are empowering people within your organization that are lawbreakers. We are all lawbreakers to some extent, but there’s a difference between recognizing that and …

HomoQuotable – Timothy Kincaid

“GOProud is a rightwing political organization masquerading as a gay group. Yes, there are gay members – at least three – but their goals, intentions, and actions reveal them to be interested in gay issues only in the context of how they can be spun for partisan advantage. [snip] Sure gay groups have straight members. Some are in leadership. And …

AUDIO: Andrew Breitbart Tells Why He Resigned From GOProud Over Outing

RELATED: The Twitter feeds of all GOProud staffers went suddenly and simultaneously silent over 48 hours ago. This is highly unusual, particularly in the case of Chris Barron, who typically tweets the mundane minutia of his day, like what he had for breakfast and which body part he’d just exercised at the gym. Perhaps a major post-scandal announcement is in …

GOProud Does Damage Control

“On behalf of the GOProud Board and its members and supporters, we want to make it very clear that ‘outing’ a gay or lesbian individual is wrong and should never be used as a political weapon. Private lives should remain just that — private. The right to disclose one’s sexual orientation belongs solely to each individual. We will continue to …

Andrew Breitbart Quits GOProud Over Outing Of Rick Perry’s Strategist

“It is with sincere regret that I announce I must step down as a GOProud advisory member. On numerous occasions I have spoken with [GOProud leaders] Jimmy LaSalvia and Chris Barron of the significant impact the practice of “outing” had in my evolution from the political left to the right. I was under the absolute impression that both agreed. I …
