Meghan McCain, daughter of the former Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, will be the keynote speaker of Allied in Pride's "Marriage Equality Week."
At an event called "Redefining Republican: No Labels, No Boxes, No Stereotypes" on Feb. 9, McCain is expected to speak about the future of the Republican party. A columnist for The Daily Beast and author of a forthcoming book, she has written publicly in support of gay marriage.
"She's a different type of Republican," said Michael Komo, president of Allied in Pride. "We thought her input would be helpful on the subject of marriage and the future of the GOP."
Megan Simpson, a member of the Graduate School of Political Management Student Association, a cosponsor of the event, said she was looking forward to hearing McCain's speech.
"[McCain] shows our generation that party choice needn't hinder our ability to stay true to the values we each possess," Simpson said.
Program Board is also cosponsoring the event, along with cosponsorships from the Student Association, College Republicans and law fraternity Phi Alpha Delta.
"She has invaluable input because of her experience in the McCain family," Komo said. "She's been privy to information and experiences that would be very insightful [for the GW community]."
Two hundred tickets to the event, which will be held in the Jack Morton Auditorium, will be available to students on a first-come, first-served basis. Komo said Allied in Pride did not yet know how students would go about requesting tickets.
“She’s a different type of Republican,” said Michael Komo, president of Allied in Pride.
yeah, one that would lose. Fortunately, Scott Brown isn’t that type of Republican and he will win in MA
Why are the GW College Republicans sponsoring this trash???
When will this off spring of the looser McLame leave us alone?

Because they look to the conservative movement and see CPAC has no problems with homosexual activists?
Maybe Focus On The Family can go to this event as well.
After all, they think “we’ve got to engage the broader conservative movement and to be salt and light in that environment,” “We believe that social conservatism, biblical Christianity has a lot to say to the political culture — and we want to be where the action is”
I wonder if they believe boycotting the event is the wrong strategy for social conservatives?
She is even more obnoxious than that nutjob who sired her.
The apple never falls far from the tree.
I hope I NEVER see this witch on FOX news again.
There is nothing conservative about Meghan McCain, and when her daddy is done with his political career, she will be a Democrat faster than you can say fugly.
Like Father, Like Daughter.
Good grief, didn’t her 15 minutes end about a year ago? Please Megan...will you and Dad just go away!

Oh, Meeghan just go away already.
I think you mean "When will this spawn of the loser McLame leave us alone? I share your sentiments.
Probably the only place that would allow her to speak.
Who thinks Conservative’s Republican?
Id' like to ask her what she seea as the difference between a republican and a democrat, the answer would be revealing.
Like....uh...you know...she is AWESOME...how did this brainless McCain manage to get in college? Oh yeah her daddy’o has....er...uh...influence.
CPAC is doing the same thing.
