The family research council – the group that called for putting gays in Jail. The kind of jail with the sign over the gate that said “Arbreich Macht Frei” (work makes free.

Yes, freedom when the ashes of the inmates went up hitler’s chimneys.

Someone should take these kind of people and give them to the taliban with their bibles, and a video camera. Politics makes strange bedfellows, you know ( is that a pun)

But it sure would make good theatre. Some people really do deserve cruel and unusual treatment.

BTW, I wasn’t aware of the adams apple thing on that K#*t. But I did stumble on a website 6 mos ago by a trans wannabee. Who called for the Presidents elimination or something like that. Nazi sybols and the rest.

I have absolutely nothing against trans people, work with them, even supported one financially in her campaign to become a state delegate. (she came in 4th, just behind the 3rd palce winner. Only the top 3 go to the general election.

As they say, it takes all kinds of people to make a world. But for the crazy one, ti sent the url and time (youtube) to the FBI, and got a letter back saying it was not a form letter and thanking me.

Too bad it wasn’t coulter on that website

Not surprising that there are many Gay Conservatives. Approximately 45 percent of Gay voters supported Ronald Reagan, maybe more. According to the New York Times, nearly half of self-identified Gay voters said they voted for Republicans in 1994 when the Gingrich-led Congress took over during the Clinton Administration. And, according to a liberal watch-dog group, over one-out-three Gays voted for John McCain in 2008. Of course the Big Lie in the GLBT community is that very, very, very few Gays are political conservatives. Just not true. Many Gays blow off “marriage equality” as undesirable and believe we have already turned the corner on job-protections; they put a higher premium on economic growth and upward mobility. When will we see an honest and balanced gay press?

Wait a minute … to characterize as engagement the payment of a speaker who spews ad hominem crap is disingenuous. This event was BY monied gays FOR monied gays. Tammy Bruce’s ‘affirmation’ that “we do earn more money” is appallingly tonedeaf and imprecise. The perspective churned out by GOProud conveniently ignores the reality of working class and middle-class LGBTQ people … five of whom killed themselves recently, notwithstanding the fact that they had so much more income to look forward to when (if) they grew up.

This article confirms only that the gays-who-are-better-than-you are absolutely the same as the rest of corporate-apologist America who make the case that it’s government regulation and taxes that are stunting America’s growth. Bullsh1t.

My young brothers and sisters are killing themselves because the environment in which they grow up is made toxic by attitudes that are proliferated by the likes of GOProud. Classy.

[In case anyone wants to shoot the messenger here, my perspective comes from 25 years of working, managing, and starting a business in the aerospace/defense industry. The company I started is now publicly traded. Real growth in revenue and profit doesn't come from whining about the government burden. GOProud is buying into a belief system that emphasizes personal enrichment to the detriment of legitimate American business interest and American workers.]

In theory, I agree with AFER’s Margaret Hoover when she comments that inviting Ann Coulter to speak at Homocon demonstrates that we can win hearts and minds by listening to our opponents. However, a conversation such as this will only attain progress when both parties have a willing and open mind. Ann Coulter is an intractable bigot as evidenced by her remarks at this event and will never be a willing partner in advancing equal rights. The act of inviting her to speak was a shameless grab at controversy and publicity which reveals the self-motivated interests of every person in that room.

The two biggest mysteries in the English language are “Gay Republican” and “Black Repulican.” I submit that they simply cannot exist. That would be like “Jewish Nazis.” I know, we’re not supposed to use the “N” word, but it seems to be the only way to make a comparison. Gay people who support politicians who bash gays and do all they can to thwart gay rights. Very strange.

If you thought that Ann Coulter would finally come out of the transgender closet at Homocon, you were sorely disappointed — as was I. Look at the photo of her. That Adam’s apple is as plain as day — Women don’t have Adam’s apples.

What Coulter really likes is money. GOPROUD paid the Bitch to speak at their even so she did and like the idiots GOPROUD is made up of, they just sat there like fools and listened to her bash gay people. How do you like gays if you don’t support anything that benefits their rights and instead speak against them?

She’s been known to be a speaker at the Family Research Council too. GoPROUD has not integrity. What is their to be proud of?? You’re just lap dogs for the GOP leadership salivating for any bone they will throw at you in exchange to make them look compassionate! Wake up you idiots. The GOP platform specifically works against gays not for them!
