Title: Ann Coulter To Headline 'Homocon' Event For Gay Conservatives

Ann Coulter To Headline 'Homocon' Event For Gay Conservatives

Conservative pundit and unlikely gay ally Ann Coulter is set to headline the first annual Homocon, "a party to celebrate gay conservatives" put on by GOProud, the "only national organization representing gay conservatives." The festivities are scheduled to take place in New York City on September 25.

"The gay left has done their best to take all the fun out of politics, with their endless list of boycotts and protests. Homocon is going to be our annual effort to counter the 'no fun police' on the left," said Christopher Barron, Chairman of the Board of GOProud, in a statement. "I can't think of any conservative more fun to headline our inaugural party then the self-professed 'right-wing Judy Garland' - Ann Coulter."

"I can promise you, Homocon 2010 will be a hell of a lot more fun than chaining yourself to the White House fence," Baron pledged, making light of an incident earlier this year where gay soldiers protesting the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy chained themselves to the gates of the White House.

In choosing Coulter, the organizers of GOProud appear willing to ignore her past transgressions against the gay community. The conservative pundit was condemned by gay-rights groups in 2007 when she notoriously called then-Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards a "faggot."

And earlier this year, Coulter railed against "irritating lesbian" Constance McMillen for challenging the sanctimony of heterosexual-only proms.

But Coulter's selection probably won't be surprising to many gay rights groups who have pointed out that GOProud sometimes exhibits self-destructive behavior. Earlier this year, the gay conservative group planned a fundraiser with Doug Manchester, a California businessman and hotelier who donated $125,000 to anti-gay marriage Proposition 8.

That fundraiser was held earlier this month in an event that GOProud called an effort by Manchester to "make financial amends with the gay community," which had mounted a boycott of Manchester's hotels and accused him of treating his gay employees poorly.

If they could get Lindsey Graham to come too they could crown them the King and Queen of Homocon, although I don't know which would be which.

I disagree, but I suppose it depends on one's definition of conservative.

Mike Church (a libertarian leaning, constitutional scholar/talker on Sirius/XM) had a lesbian call in to his show the other day. She was an older woman from Texas - who basically said in her drawl "I've been this way all my life". She went on to say she lived a very quiet life with her "partner".

She had nothing but scorn for those homosexuals who march in parades and "get in your face" with their homosexuality.

She claimed to be a conservative - and in fact sounded very much like one.

Personally, I don't like homosexuality. But as someone who leans libertarian myself, I don't see where it's my business to make life any more difficult for someone like the lady in Texas.

Put simply - live and let live. If she ain't gonna bother me, I won't bother her.

I know you are a fundie,but you CAN'T be so ignorant as to think that marriage is tied to religion.

You can marry in a civil ceremony with no representative of any religious cult in attendance.

I will grant you that the state has no right and lacks the power to demand that any religion be forced to conduct a wedding ceremony for homosexuals or anyone else they don't like.

Freedom is a two-way street.

They just don't have the right (or social consensus) to redefine the language and the act of "marriage" by dictatorial fiat.

Wrong.

You've just described a libertarian.

There are social constraints that have always be "conservative" which is defined by the lack of change or a status quo within a social standing.

Stone happens to be right with respect to "oxymorons." A few of the primary tenets of political "conservatism" within the context of American politics are "pro-life, "pro-marriage" (between man & woman), and "pro-gun."

Individual queers may have conservative leanings, but as a demographic they are as liberal/fascist as any group in the US.

If a queer is pro-life, pro-gun, and pro-traditional marriage, he actually could be considered conservative.

WHERE is the definition of the word marriage given as a joining of men and women exclusively?

What government does NOT have the right to do is tell individuals who they can or can not marry. That is about as personal a choice as anyone will ever make in their entire lives,and of no legitimate concern of the government. This IS the conservative opinion.

You seem to have religious dogma confused with government authority. We do NOT live in a theocracy,and with any luck at all we never will.

May all faggots that claim to be married get aids.

Besides being a truly sick thing to say,it is also a distinctly non-Christian thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Why are you missing this?

"Marriage" is the definition of an official partnership between a man and a woman. Has been forever.

They and you apparently want the "freedom" to arbitrarily redefine both the language and humankind's traditions. Because a bunch of nuts loves their dogs doesn't mean the state must recognize "marriage" it their case, does it? Or monogamy?

YES - being a conservative DOES mean "holding to the traditional values and thought of a people who established out gubmint" - THE FOUNDERS.

Minimal gubmint. Representative gubmint and consent by and for the People. But that's all now apparently a past "tradition."

They just don't have the right (or social consensus) to redefine the language and the act of "marriage" by dictatorial fiat...

More importantly, there weren't any government marriage licenses at the time of the founders.

Of course the government has already changed the act of "marriage" by dictatorial fiat.

Historically, marriage was a contract between two families, usually under the auspices of a religious authority.

At the beginning of the progressive era in the late 19th century, state governments starting to nullify common law marriages and began to exert more control over marriage. By the 1920s, 38 states had laws prohibiting whites from marrying blacks, mulattos, Japanese, Chinese, Indians, Mongolians, Malays or Filipinos.

In the 1960s, governments started using their power over marriage to force "no- fault" divorce laws on all of us.

As is the case with everything government touches, it has destroyed the institution of marriage. 50% of Americans between 25 to 29 are unmarried. Almost 40 percent of children are born to unmarried parents.

The government has no business regulating who can get married. They certainly have no business requiring a license to validate that a couple is married.

Absolute bullshit. You are displaying exactly the kind of warped logic that has allowed the government to grow into the Leviathan behemoth that it is today.

Legally, marriage is a contract. The government has one role in contracts -- that of the arbitrator of last resort in a contractual dispute. In many cases, the government doesn't even perform this role anymore. When I went through my divorce we used private arbitration. The government's only role was register the agreement about assets and children that came out of the private arbitration.

The government certainly has no legitimate power whatsoever to bestow any special "rights" or "benefits" to married people. The government's only legitimate role in society is to protect the natural rights that all humans have as a result of being human.

You made a new contract and it was blessed by the court. If a dispute arises, the court will enforce the contract, or bless its modification. If human beings were always rational and fair, there would be no need for the courts to get involved.

A benefit of marriage is the right to inherit. A friend recently discovered what a mess that can be when the union is not blessed by the state. Her partner's family did decide that she could keep the entire mortgage on the house since more was owed than it is now worth - everything else however, the family decided belonged to them.

ROTFLMAO. People inherited long before there was a central state "blessing" marriages. Of course, people can inherit from unmarried individuals too. Even within state's "blessing" (you crack me up), the government has screwed this up as well.

A Will is public instrument that is published when you die and can be challenged by any schmuck with a shyster lawyer. Did you know that? Most people don't understand this. The only way to make your death and inheritance a private affair is by creating a trust (I know this because I've done it at the advice of my attorney). The normal way that people handle their estate, with a Will, enables the government to leave them open for all kinds of trouble in the courts.

Nothing that you've said is a legitimate argument for government control and licensing of marriage. In fact, just the opposite is true.

"Marriage" is the definition of an official partnership between a man and a woman. Has been forever.

Not entirely true. I have seen and heard references to a "marriage" of a engine and transmission in a car or truck that didn't come with that engine or transmission.

I have also never seen where the term is LEGALLY limited to a partnership between a man and woman ONLY. WHERE is it restricted to only male and female relationships,other than in the minds of fundies?

They and you apparently want the "freedom" to arbitrarily redefine both the language and humankind's traditions.

I have no interest in redefining anything. It is people like YOU that want to redefine it to meet your religious beliefs.

Because a bunch of nuts loves their dogs doesn't mean the state must recognize "marriage" it their case, does it?

Dogs get married. I read of one case where a man married his horse. In neither case does your religious cult have to recognize the marriages. Or monogamy?

What does monogamy have to do with it? The subject was marriage,and WELL over 50% of the marriages in this country are not monogamous. Some were never intended to be monogamous from the beginning,and in others at least one partner is stepping out on the other.

And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago." (Sarah Palin,Dec 2009) ************************************ DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Me) I don't know or F ing care.
