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.

homo are not about love at all , I love many things and people but feel no desire to have sex and get off with them.
They do and that is the difference it is about sex to them and that is all.
The fools and dopes who actually believe it is about love are just as stupid and sick as the homo’s they stand together with
you d not have to be a Christian to think homosexuality is wrong.
Actually most I know do not even go to church and think of homosexuals as disgusting sick people.
It’s certainly not natural otherwise nature would have intended two of the same sex to reproduce, they cannot therefore it is unnatural.
That is so sick, and a perfect example of what the homosexual agenda is all about.

Exactly right.

Well said.
Conservative?! Hardly!
Federal Legislative Priorities
The so-called “gay agenda” is defined by the left through a narrow prism of legislative goals. While hate crimes and employment protections may be worthy goals, there are many other important priorities that receive little attention from the gay community. GOProud’s agenda emphasizes conservative and libertarian principles that will improve the daily lives of all Americans, but especially gay and lesbian Americans.
Go to the link. There agenda is all about homosexuals.

Amazing, the knowledge you have about the lives of others. Interesting, how much this sounds like the pro-homosexual agenda.
How often have we heard the complaint that "if you knew any gays, you wouldn't be afraid of gay marriage". Well, as it turns out, the vast majority of us *do* know homosexuals, and we are still against the homosexual agenda and homosexual "marriage".
I find it interesting that the homosexuals put gay marriage to a vote, got resoundingly slapped down under a CRUSHING defeat by vote.
And what did they do about it?
They whined like spanked children tossing a temper tantrum instead of accepting the will of the people.
Naw. You read in emotion that wasn't there.
I'm just a movement conservative. I do have a close relative who is gay. My only question when he came out was, "this doesn't mean you're going to vote Democrat, does it?!" Fortunately the answer was, "HELL, no!"
Oh, I do think Roy Masters is an idiot. But possibly I just don't understand him. He strikes me as about as coherent as Harry Reid. But unlike Harry, Roy is no threat to my liberty. So whatever.
I just happened to observe that you choose to promote Roy on your homepage, but expect gay conservatives who might want to participate here to keep their mouths shut.
I don't expect anybody to keep their mouths shut, or to necessarily agree with me.
You forgot to ping your Mommy too.
I became a FReeper only three months after you did. Should you succeed in getting getting me banned, congratulations in advance. If you can live with doing that over this issue, then so can I. Not that it wouldn’t make me sad. One of the reasons I’m proud of conservatives is that we debate issues where we disagree, unlike the left, which bans dissent. But maybe not always. We’ll see.
The homosexual agenda is a liberal agenda. It isn't open to debate. We don't give special rights based on behavior. Homosexuality is a behavior. It is not a civil rights issue.
Book Review of The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing The Principal Threat To Religious Freedom Today
They [homosexual advocates] reframed the issue, taking it out of the moral realm, and presented it as a ‘human rights’ issue. Those who opposed their argument were deemed ‘hateful’ or ‘intolerant’ toward those that are ‘different’ - even though the group’s only identification is that of a chosen sexual behavior.
“Not A Woman!!” -that dude from the movie Willow.
We may have that going on with some of the pro-homosexual trolls.
Nice smear, seeing as how there's not the slightest chance anyone involved with Homocon would support that. The refusal of the Log Cabin Republicans, let alone other gay orgs, to denounce Islamic extremism was one of the reasons GOProud was founded.
Indeed a gay conservative, Charles Winecoff -- a GOProud member and Homocon participant -- denounced that "Queers for Palestine" rally, and much more hateful and fascistic extremism from the homosexual left, in an article at Breitbart's Big Hollywood. (Gay Patriot, which seems to have been the premier pre-GOProud site for gay conservatives, blogged and endorsed the article here). I'll excerpt very briefly, but everyone participating in this thread should read it in full:
Love, War – and Gay MarriageLate last year, when the gay community was working itself into a frenzy over the passage of Proposition 8 -the measure to amend the California State Constitution to define marriage specifically as a union between one man and one woman – I realized I didn’t trust the community anymore. And I’m gay.
The realization didn’t come overnight; it had been forming for some time. But the Gestapo tactics over Prop 8 – McCarthy-style blacklists, boycotting of otherwise gay-friendly businesses, apologies coerced out of individual supporters who made the “wrong” choice, enforced politically-correct donations to the Human Rights Campaign - clarified it for me.
I hadn’t left the community, it had left me. When did the gays get so mean, anyway?
..........
The response to 9/11 left me feeling even more betrayed. Though there was a bona fide gay hero in the attacks - Mark Bingham, the athletic businessman who helped storm the cockpit of United Flight 93, throwing the Islamists’ suicide mission off course – he soon got brushed aside in favor of the Loose Change/neocon conspiracy/hate-Bush zeitgeist that was sweeping the Left.
Never would I have imagined I’d develop a social phobia about hanging out with other gay people – my purported comrades - but lo and behold, I did. Not long after I moved back to LA (a relocation that coincided with 9/11), it seemed to me the gay community was morphing into little more than an offshoot of MoveOn.org.
The movement, or should I say urban gay culture, didn’t seem to be about being gay anymore; it had become fixated on hating US authority – not so much Big Brother as “Big Daddy,” some imaginary, omnipotent, no doubt conservative patriarchal figure in the sky (obviously the product of a lot of transference). Spoiled American gays were running out of oppressors to attack – so they found a convenient new target just within reach: themselves.
Case in point: the mystifyingly misguided group “Queers for Palestine.” In their mechanical hatred of all things Bush-related – well, almost all things – these good little left-wing soldiers stand in perverse support of possibly the most homophobic regime on earth. Once upon a time, even I used to glibly spout that a gay person voting Republican was like a Jew voting Nazi – but Queers for Palestine go straight to the source. Talk about internalized homophobia.
Did no one see the threat to decades of gay activism smoldering in the rubble of the Twin Towers?
Five years later, The Advocate finally published a story about a nasty run-in between a 43-year-old lesbian in Jackson Heights, New York, and members of the Muslim Thinkers Society, who had set up signs on a local street corner declaring “Allah will destroy nations that allow homosexuality.” After a verbal argument with these shameless bigots, the woman claimed that one of the “thinkers” had pushed her to the ground. Naturally, police charged her with disorderly conduct, not the friendly neighborhood Muslims.
Did the gay community rally to her defense?
No. United against evil Republicans and their bugaboo “Religious Right,” gays have turned a willful blind eye to Islamic supremacy, many choosing to view it not as a palpable threat to their own existence, but as a fear-mongering fabrication of the imperialist Bush administration. Self-destructive groups like Queers for Palestine rail against the phantom human rights abuses and war crimes of the staunchest defenders of social liberalism - the US and Israel – without realizing the deadly, tyrannical hands they are playing into.
As reported by Yossi Klein Halevi and others, queers in Palestine are considered criminals – no ifs, ands, or buts. They are routinely harassed, entrapped - and brutally tortured – by police. One young man Halevi interviewed was forced to stand in sewage, his head covered by a shit-filled sack, before being ordered to sit on a Coke bottle during a sadistic interrogation. Nice.
Imagine just for a moment the incredible outrage you would hear from the gay community in the States if a US police officer – or even better, a US Army officer – were accused of such barbarity.
Meanwhile, few gays in wealthy, free, out/proud America seem the least bit concerned about the monstrous physical and psychological treatment of their brothers overseas. Of course, we suffer from a media blackout here. CBS, NBC, ABC, and MSNBC rarely report anything grotesque or violent – unless it’s a hate crime committed by a white American or a sex scandal involving an evangelical preacher (or a Republican).
This is what happens when Jon Stewart and Rachel Maddow are mistaken for journalists.
Eight years after 9/11, the LGBT community gets its activism fix by indulging in nostalgic, anti-establishment indignation over petty domestic slights. Ganging up on an annoying little old lady carrying a cross at a Prop 8 rally satisfies the itch between workouts and White Parties. But wouldn’t it be genuinely awe inspiring to see masses of musclebound gay men taking on, say, a congregation of homophobic Islamic “thinkers” (who, BTW, love the idea of pushing gay men off cliffs to their death)?
Homosexuals supported that. Not all of them support Homocon either. Mostly they're just interested in pushing homosexuality as normal when it is anything butt.
but everyone participating in this thread should read it in full:
Don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. And I have.
If you would kindly read the GOProud’s Legislative Agenda I posted above, you would note that at least 90% is not conservative, on the contrary it involves Big Government enforcement of the homosexual agenda, with a small nod or two in the conservative direction. They want guns. Great. But that doesn’t make them “conservative”.
Ewww! Too much information. (Although that could explain a lot.)
Homosexuals want to mainstream their deviancy. Conservatives stand against it. And every state that has voted on a "one man, one woman" law also stands against it.

Nice claim, although much of what you offer as "debate" is simply ad hominem attacks and offensive remarks such as your last post.
Imho, the comment made by Sutltis to which you refer was not a “joke”. It was an attack, and a poor one at that.
