Challenge Accepted: Conservative gay organization head agrees to debate WorldNetDaily editor

In the wake of a dispute between WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah and conservative author Ann Coulter over her decision to headline an event sponsored by GOProud, a gay conservative organization, Farah and GOProud Chairman Christopher Barron will square off in a debate later this month at WND’s convention.

Barron told The Daily Caller that Farah challenged him to debate over whether GOProud can be considered “conservative” after Farah argued on his site that there is no place within conservatism for an organization like GOProud, a group that promotes itself as “the only national organization representing gay conservatives and their allies.” TheDC is waiting for confirmation from WND about the debate’s details.

Farah dropped Coulter from a speaking engagement at WND’s annual “Taking America Back” convention in Miami for agreeing to speak at GOProud’s “Homocon” party in New York. (Coulter later said that Farah had never actually booked her for a speech, calling him a “swine” and a “publicity whore.”)

Farah contends that groups like GOProud are trying to commit a “coup” to unroot the conservative movement with an “agenda…to take the homosexual agenda inside the conservative tent.”

Barron insists that his group is genuinely conservative and said he looks forward taking on Farah in front of a WND crowd.

“Since we announced that conservative author and columnist Ann Coulter would be headlining our Homocon 2010 in New York City, Farah has attacked GOProud, attacked Ann, and challenged our work almost every single day,” Barron said in a statement to The Daily Caller. “I look forward to standing on the stage with Mr. Farah to defend GOProud, to debunk the misinformation he has spread, and to make the case for GOProud’s conservative mission.”

Barron added that conservatism stands at a major crossroads in its acceptance of gays into the movement. A number of high profile conservatives, including Lisa De Pasquale of the Conservative Political Action Conference, Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform and former General Counsel to the National Republican Senatorial Committee Craig Engle, have signed on as official sponsors of GOProud’s event.

The debate will be held on September 17 at 7:30 PM at the Doral Golf and Spa Resort in Miami, Florida.

“Barron added that conservatism stands at a major crossroads in its acceptance of gays into the movement.”

Crossroads between ignoring and shunning?

[ilovesarah2012]

I vote for shunning.

I'm with Farah on this one.

The older I get, the more I see the dangers of compromise and reject inclusion for the sake of acceptance.

I know of homosexuals and they are not my friends nor invited to my house.

I'm sure they're nice people, but I make the rules of my house and I have chosen.

there is no homo conservative group, it’;s the old log cabins who were busted for being rats homo’s and pretending to be conservative to further their homo agenda.

[MindBender26]

Why would any real Conservative worry about what two consenting adults do in the own bedroom?

We need every possible vote we can get to defeat Obasim. Don’t PO people who will vote your way.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Farah’s right.

For crying out loud. Why must gays always try to change everyone else, to fit their own lifestyle choices.

He’s the odd man out. It’s up to him, to define himself correctly.

He should (accurately) define his views as libertarian, and stop trying to pretend he’s something he’s not.

Plenty of room at the patriotic table for libertarians of whatever lifestyle.

But he’s not a conservative.

[manc]

good for you , same here

it is the dopes out there which say well I know a homosexual and he is nice.

It is those dopes who are being fooled, tricked by them to accept their agenda.
if they truly want to know their homo friends then go to places like the folsom fair and let them see who their true homo friends are all about.

The more we ignore their sick agenda the more they push it.
They want us to shut up and the likes of hannity etc are complete cowards for not talking about this.
Yes hannity etc will say he is conservative but notice how he never ever talks about social issues and just repeats the same crap for days and even weeks.

We cannot let their agenda pass

[manc]

it’s not in their bedroom is it?
It’s in laws, schools, 5 year olds being told of their sex and to be told it is alright to cross dress., it’;s in public bathrooms, rest areas, dog parks, etc etc etc.
Hell they do their sick acts in public on the street at their parades.

Any fool who thinks they are nothing to worry about or their agenda is just as sick as them who engage in their sick act

[manc]

another thing this group is the old log cabins who were busted for being Dem voting homo’s and now have changed their name to again fool the weak minded.

"Why would any real Conservative worry about what two consenting adults do in the own bedroom?"

Then keep it IN the bedroom.

[DJ MacWoW]

Why would any real Conservative worry about what two consenting adults do in the own bedroom?

Typical apologist canard. They aren't doing it in their own bedroom. They're doing it in parades. THEY have made it very public and are demanding that we accept it as normal. We will NOT.

[manc]

that mindset by the poster is what homosexual are counting on to further their agenda.

There are some who actually think that it is all about love and getting married.
Shame these idiots cannot grasp it is a step in their agenda and if those idiots ignore the marriage debate then they are helping these queers

Pterodactyls, yes. Homos, no.

[montag813]

Here's what the little creep Barron just said on Twitter:

I don't think @GOProud should have to prove it is conservative. I think Farah should have to prove he isn't a bigot.

THIS is who Ann Coulter wants to promote? Why? Is her status as Queen of Fag Hags that important to maintain?
