Homocon A Go-Go

Buzzfeed reporter Chris Geidner tweeted out the above photo of the entertainment at GOProud’s Homocon 2012 party. Maybe it’s early, but I’m not seeing “1000 conservative supporters” there. I guess they’re all in the can. UPDATE: Looks like they actually got a big crowd although the photos so far don’t seem to show that. Maybe there will be video.
