Click over to Metro Weekly for Chris Geidner’s recapping of fifteen of the nation’s most well-known LGBT advocacy groups. Geidner’s article includes self-assessing quotes from many of the group’s leaders. What’s most interesting to me is that the three groups that seem to have most dominated the news in recent months (GOProud, Servicemembers United, and GetEqual) have the smallest budgets …

Complaints about Ann Coulter’s habit of voting in states where she doesn’t live have been around for years, but stalling by friendly election officials and the statute of limitations resulted in no charges. That may change. An elections commission in Connecticut will soon decide if conservative pundit Ann Coulter will face felony charges over allegations of voter fraud in the …

“Common sense and clear thinking dictates that if we love America’s teenagers, we will resolve to put healthy, mature role models in front of them right at the time when they are making sexual decisions of enormous and lasting impact. I’m happy to openly, publicly and unreservedly declare that Sen. DeMint is right. We should see to it that our …

This is the same guy that made those fawning videos about Homocon 2010, which he has since deleted due to mocking comments. He’s also started a Homocons NYC page on Facebook.

In addition to opposing ENDA, the Matthew Shepard Act, or any federal protections for LGBT Americans, GOProud feels that marriage equality is a states’ rights issue and therefore they are OK with the 31 states that have passed constitutional bans on same-sex marriage at the behest of groups like NOM. That’s just democracy in action!

Michael Lucas, the press release-happy porn producer and rabid Zionist neocon wants you to know that he totally got in Ann Coulter’s face at Homocon 2010. Via his publicist: “Ann Coulter outraged attendees at Homocon this past weekend and got into a screaming argument with gay porn mogul Michael Lucas who refused to back down! Ann is seen caught red …

“Homocon 2010 was a complete and total success. GOProud set out to throw a great party, not hold a policy event, and that’s exactly what we did. Gay conservatives gathered from across the country to spend a night celebrating the enormous success this organization has had in such a short time. “We celebrated by asking Ann Coulter to speak, and …

“Many of us fought for years to construct a conservatism that treated gay people as individuals and as equal citizens. We fought, as GOProud does, to rebut the notion that being gay means being a socialist or a leftist. But we also fought to have core civil equality recognized – in military service and marriage, and we fought against an …

“Ann took them straight on and gave them some straight talk I doubt they were ready for. There is no amount of sugar that will help this medicine go down. According to the leftwing website Politico.com, she complimented the Christian audiences before whom she speaks by telling these homosexuals that the people who get her ‘gay jokes are gays.’ Christians …

Here’s an inadvertently hilarious accounting of Homocon 2010. Listen if you can bear it. Audio only.

Talking Points Memo reporter Megan Carpentier, whose live tweets from Homocon 2010 I followed last night, has posted her story. According to Carpentier, headliner Ann Coulter’s offensive remarks went far beyond telling the crowd that they didn’t deserve civil rights. First, she ran down the stereotypical stand-up comedian’s list of reasons, including that lacking the legal right to marriage allows …

At GOProud’s Homocon 2010 event in NYC last night, headliner Ann Coulter told the assembled Quislings that they had no civil right to marriage. Because, after all, they’re not BLACK. Ben Smith reports at Politico: Coulter’s presence at the event was controversial, as other gay activists pointed out that she’d made a series of anti-gay remarks — she called former …

Today the Washington Post examines the two newest groups on the gay political scene. It’s been a big, loud gay year, and a pair of young gay rights groups on opposite ends of the political spectrum have tried to be heard above the noise in Washington: GOProud, from its basement office in Capitol Hill, and GetEQUAL, a nationwide, direct-action network …

Over on Twitter, GOProud is cheering this ad.

GOProud’s BFF Ann Coulter, who will headline their Homocon 2010 event here in NYC on Saturday, has published a column lionizing Ronald Reagan because of his staunch opposition to gay rights. The social issues were the difference. Reagan agreed with Goldwater on fiscal and national defense issues, but by 1980, social issues loomed large and Reagan came down mightily on …

“Like slavery in America, there is no moving on from gay Republicanism. Robert ‘KKK’ Byrd can be forgiven. Jim ‘I-am-a-gay-American-cheating-on-my-wife’ McGreevey can be forgiven. Dean, Clinton, and Obama can be forgiven for their hollow promises to the LGBT community. Hell, even Fidel Castro can be forgiven for his homosexual re-education camps. And, of course, it wouldn’t be ‘nice’ to criticize …

Stonewall Democrats “Senate Republicans have tragically blocked the National Defense Authorization Act because it contains language to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” showing themselves to be far outside of the American mainstream. Their actions today are just more obstructionism and willful disregard of what 8 in 10 Americans want. It is a sad the lengths the GOP will go to …
