During a CPAC segment to recognize student conservative activists from across the country, one particular conservative, Ryan Sorba of the California Young Americans for Freedom, denounced CPAC for allowing the gay conservative group GOProud to co-sponsor the event and host a booth. After finishing his short speech against homosexuality as being contrary to the concept of natural rights -- amidst booing from the crowd -- he walked off the stage.
"Just to change the subject for just a second, I'd like to condemn CPAC for bringing GOPride (sic) to this event," said Sorba. The young activist crowd erupted into booing, but Sorbs continued. "Bring it. Bring it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
"Guess what? Guess what? All right, guess what? Civil rights are grounded in natural rights," said Sorba. "Natural rights are grounded in human nature. Human nature is a rational substance in relationship. The intelligible end of the reproductive act is reproduction. Do you understand that? Civil rights, when they conflict with natural rights, are contrary -- hey, you sit down. The lesbians at Smith College protest better than you do. The lesbians at Smith College protest than you do. All right? Bring it."
Today MARKED THE END OF CPAC AS A FORCE WITHIN THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT.
Good job Ryan.
The tent is not big enough for homos.
I agree. This is going to damage CPAC. It was already damaged in my eyes with the Romney winning the straw poll. It shows that it is a sham. It should be called RPAC.
“Under the law of nature, all men are born free, every one comes into the world with a right to his own person, which includes the liberty of moving and using it at his own will. This is what is called personal liberty, and is given him by the Author of nature...” —Thomas Jefferson: Legal Argument, 1770. FE 1:376
Agreed-we are already into the discussion over here about it:

That's correct, it's not so "conservative" these days. The presence of factions based on their sexual preferences proves that CPAC has been corrupted. They're quickly losing credibility. Whatever influence they have will be disappear next.
If the Democrats and the Republicans want to fight for the Sodomite vote, so be it. There are still plenty of heterosexuals around to form a third party. The West seems intent on committing suicide.
The idea of gay pride is a leftist identity politics creation. It is incompatible with conservatism. Also gays are all about using government to mandate and force acceptance of their lifestyle. Ryan Sorba is right it isn’t about Civil rights. It is about sex and behavior.
Thanks I didn’t see that or I wouldn’t have posted.
We are the majority in the Republican Party. We and enough independents can win without the left whether it be Republican or Democrat flavored.
From what I saw, most the people entering the ballroom during then were people coming to see Ron Paul. Things were moving behind schedule, so the panel was occurring around 4:30 when it was supposed to be at 3:45.
The CPUSA meets at least as much as they do, and one of their members is POTUS.
FLIP SLICK WILLARD RINO ROMNEY AND ANY OF HIS SUPPORTERS AND THAT INCLUDES HANNITY AND COULTER BEST BEWARE.
I am assuming that the BOOS were from the RINOS, gays and “moderates’?
They should just re-name it FUDGEPAC.
I forgot the Ron Paul supporters. Thanks for pointing it out.
Some in the crowd weren’t too crazy about the behavior of the Paul zealots before and during his speech...
Bwaahaa!
Here is what Ryan was referring to.
