GOProud On Dems & Gay Marriage

“Democrats talk more about same-sex marriage because they rely on issues that will motivate coalitions within their party. For example, gay Democrats make deals with the unions who in turn make deals with the NAACP. It’s all about keeping their coalitions working instead of an overwhelming desire to promote gay marriage.” – GOProud head Jimmy LaSalvia, speaking to the Christian …

Michael Musto On GOProud

“So a bunch of sef-loathing gays endorses someone who wants to rewrite the Constitution to ban same-sex marriage, and when someone attacks them for it, they insult his looks? And they reduce my career, without even addressing the issue at hand? I was hired as an entertainment columnist in 1984, but expanded that from day one to include gay (and …

HomoQuotable – Jimmy LaSalvia

“The father of the modern conservative movement, former US Senator Barry Goldwater, once said of Jerry Falwell that he needed a kick in the ass. With his speech at Falwell’s Liberty University, it is clear that Governor Romney’s message to Goldwater conservatives is: drop dead.

TEXAS: GOProud Welcomes Racism-Tinged Former Log Cabin Dallas Chapter

You might recall that last fall the Log Cabin Republicans dissolved their Dallas chapter after its president, Rob Schlein, went on national radio to declare that businesses should have the right to fire people for being black.

GOProud: Screw The Poor On Insurance

“At the end of the day, we don’t think gay Americans should have to rely on a benevolent corporation or government to provide a plan that meets their needs. We want a system where individuals and couples can make their own health-care decisions. Health-care needs are too important to be left to the discriminatory whims of a third party. When …

HomoQuotable – Jimmy LaSalvia

“Despite the large delegate lead enjoyed by Governor Romney, other candidates in the field have made it clear that they intend to continue on. The question that Republicans, and conservatives in particular, must begin to ask themselves is whether continuing this process is in the best interest of our movement, the party and – most importantly – our country. “President …

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’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 …

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 …
