An unlikely sponsor at this year's annual conservative conference is hoping to not only promote the issues that set it apart from many Republicans, but also draw attention to the beliefs they share.
The group is called GOProud -- a name that combines GOP and gay pride. So far, the group is getting a mixed response at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Here comes the hyphenated conservative, and with it, divisiveness by it’s very nature, but then, that’s the whole point isn’t it....
Gag me, gag me, gonna take a rope and hang me. Who said something similar? His name is on the tip of my tongue.
Wasn’t that a silly song from Roger Miller? Or was it Jimmy Dean?
This gay group is not some innocent little coffee klatsch that stays quietly behind closed doors. The group has a radical liberal agenda.
The group wants to repeal don’t ask, don’t tell — which grievously undermine the world’s greatest military.
The group opposes the federal marriage amendment even though such an amendment is essential to religious freedom. It would help stop the attacks of activist judges on religious freedom and traditional values.
The group says that hate crime and employment legislation are “worthy goals.”
The group is for “domestic partner tax equity” — domestic partner is another word for shacking up. Another nail in the coffin for traditional marriage.
This gay group is nothing but trouble. CPAC should not be giving it credibility.
Would this group not be supported by Dick Cheney? They have an advocate in the former vp. Not sure how Liz Cheney feels, but I assume it would be along the same lines. It’s the one thing that disappoints me about him, even though I understand he has his daughter to consider.
The fact that his daughter is homosexual is no excuse. A parent’s love is unconditional but that is no reason to embrace the homosexual agenda - to the detriment of the military.
I honestly don’t understand why we in anyway need cohesiveness the matter of “gay rights” or really almost any other Inherently domestic political matter.
If we all agree to embrace limited constitutional government theses matters will be resolved at the State and local level where we do agree more....
I don’t see this as being a justifiably relevant dispute.
They are moderate democrats, is all. Nothing conservative there.
Except that they’re pretending to be something else. I don’t even know about “moderate” Democrats.
