Ann Coulter doesn't mince words. And even when speaking to a gay conservative organization, GOProud, at their inaugural Homocon party on Saturday night, she apparently wasn't willing to start.
After a series of jokes about conservative that sounded -- and were received -- more like a stand-up act then a political speech, Coulter told the assembled (and predominantly wealthy) conservative gay crowd why they should oppose same sex marriage, adding, "I should warn you: I've never failed to talk gays out of gay marriage."
And then she did.
First, she ran down the stereotypical stand-up comedian's list of reasons, including that lacking the legal right to marriage allows the less-committed partner to weasel out of it. But in a more serious note, she parroted the losing arguments of the lawyers supporting California's Prop 8 and told the crowd that the reason she opposes (and they should oppose) same sex marriage is that it is strictly for procreation.
In one of a series of racially insensitive remarks that pervaded her speech, Coulter added, "Marriage is not a civil right. You're not black." It was part of a larger argument on which she later elaborated, telling the crowd that the 14th Amendment only applies to African-Americans and that it does not, in fact, apply to women, LGBT people or other minorities.

LOL! Welcome to Free Republic.
In Virginia in the 1700's the penalty was death.
Homosexuality has never been "celebrated" anywhere except Rome just before it fell, rotted from within.
Listen noob, you won't want to push the homosexual agenda on FR as the owner will ban you.
FR is a conservative site. We do not appreciate our members fighting against us on our conservative values and issues. If you wish to support homosexual marriage or homosexuals in the military or hate crimes against us for speaking out against government promotion of homosexuality thats your business, but youd better do it somewhere else and not on FR. If you value your posting privileges, that is. FR is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-military, pro-traditional American conservatism and it is a privilege to post here. Those who support the godless liberal/Marxist destruction of our free society and our country are free to exercise their free speech rights elsewhere. I wont stand in your way.
Anyone can vote for conservative candidates even if they disagree with some of the conservative positions. This does NOT mean that conservative positions should be “softened” or eliminated to please non-conservatives.
Let them swallow their bile for a change. I and millions of other conservatives have swallowed our own long enough. Far too long.
Compromise with lefitist crap aka evil has gotten us into the hole. Compromise will not get us out of it.
Read the GOProud’s agenda points just listed and please explain how these are conservative and not pushing the “gay” agenda, okay?
I’d love to read your explanation.
just jumping in for a few minutes - Four Twenty has left the building.
Must have been a retread.
Could be.
Well said. I hope people understand the distinction you’re making because it doesn’t get much simpler than that.
Thanks for your kind words, Scripter.
I tried again to simplify it here:

You want government to define what marriage is or isn’t. You want government to decide what is “legal” sex and what isnt. You want government to decide who gets to keep your social security benefits when you die. You want government to decide who can visit you on your death bed, who can make life or death medical decisions for you in the event of your incapacitation, who can care for your survivor children. In every instance here you want government to be empowered to run your life for you. YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE!!! Conservatives don’t knowingly grant that kind of power to government.
“Farah is the full blown shyster.”
yep, and he took a private communication and made it public. Showing he is a sell out.
You are wrong about me on all counts. I don’t know where you got your information. I don’t want government to define what marriage is or isn’t. Marriage was defined long before the United States existed. Government ought not try to change the definition, which is what gay marriage activists want. All the other claims you make about me are also just plain wrong. Perhaps you were thinking of someone else.
>>> Michael Lucas. (Lucas also confided to a reporter, I wonder what Ann will think about the fact that I am the biggest producer of gay porn on the East Coast and probably in the whole U.S.”
I just saw on another board reference to Lucas being attacked for being a Coulter fan, and thought immediately of you. Following the link back to the original attack on Lucas:
“Michael Lucas Is Wearing His Islamophobia On His Sleeve. Want a Lick?”
Has Michael Lucas ever tried being politically correct? Didn’t think so. So it’s a little amusing to see the porn entrepreneur begin his latest Middle East manifesto with a note reminding readers
“this is not written to be politically correct.” But!: “This is not written to spark controversy. This is written by the power of facts, by the force of reason and for the sake of reality. I am not a journalist; I am not a politician so I dont have to lie. Sometime political correctness becomes a poison.” .
Lucas says he speaks so openly because, growing up in Russia, he wasn’t afforded free speech rights. Which is why he now feels free to do things like brand gay Palestine sympathizers as anti-Semitic. But this time around, he’s going after one of his other pet demographics: Muslims. The hook? The Ft. Hood shooter.
You know where this is going.
Thirteen of our countrys soldiers were killed by their “comrade.” Sons, a daughter, and a mother-to-be had their lives cut short by one of their “own.” Now lets please put aside cowardly taboos and call out what has actually occurred. He is a Muslim and he did what Muslims do. Meanwhile, we are doing what we always do when they kill: finding excuses for their actions.
Whenever Muslims commit what to the normal eye looks like a massacre, our media mobilizes panels of psychiatrists, human rights organizers, professors, and officials to “explain” why what happened is not what it looks like. Why the murderers are actually the victims. But we can not let these legions of manipulators brainwash us. We can not let them confuse us. We can not let our own media and government become a mosque that takes control of our minds. Otherwise, we will not be better than Muslims because we will lose our ability to think for ourselves and stop making our own decisions. We should not let them make us feel guilty for recognizing the obvious. We should not allow them to force pity for a murderer, as the murderer did not feel any pity for his victims. We must stay to the facts; the truth and not let the media distract us and take us away from the main point.
[...] It is incredibly disrespectful to tell your nation not to jump to conclusions”when conclusions are due. In 2001 we lived through the biggest attack on America. Now its the biggest attack on a U.S. army base. The conclusion is due since we know this is not an isolated event. This is a logical continuation of tactics that these monsters have employed for decades. Terrorizing us, killings us, making us spend billions on security, etc. The connection and conclusion are clear. Islam is the root of the problem. And not to admit it will be suicide of reason.
We dont need to know all the trivial details of the killer’s life. We know all too well what moves these Koran devotees. These barbarians are changing their tactics”from explosive belts to plane hijackings to creating dirty bombs, to now infiltrating the army. But the motivation remains the same. It is the dedication to the idea that is advocated in Koran”to kill the “non believers,” to wipe out any civilization that is not subjugated to Islam.
I dont need further evidence other than Nidal Malik Hasans actions. He killed his enemy, the Americans, as a result of Muslims’ beliefs. One of the last things this barbarian did before going on his killing spree was go to his neighbors, people he rarely spoke to, and give them copies of the Koran. Well, how thoughtful, sir, to pass on your manuscript of murder, but I hope those neighbors burned this book for what its worth.
The first thing the Muslim community says when these acts of brutal terror occur is that it is only extreme Islamic fanatics who do this. But wait one second: this is simply not true. All Muslims at the Silver Spring Islamic Center, where the gunman worshiped, said that he was just like the rest of the community. His fellow worshipers said he was calm, that he didnt stick out or make waves, he prayed there and went on his way. Yes, very benign and easy going just like the rest. So no it is not just the “fanatic” followers of Islam who perform these acts of terror. Any and every ordinary worshiper is capable of these crimes. So lets take away their capability to do harm.
All of which brings Lucas to conclude:
It is simple”Muslims should not be allowed to serve in the military. You can not rightly be in the U.S. military and also believe in the Koran. What the US military is called to defend and what the Koran prescribes are based on contradictory sets of beliefs. If you are a Muslim then you believe in the Koran and you are loyal to Allah and Allah only. Hasan is already a hero in the Muslim world, a role model for other terrorists, for those who praise Allah and will try to follow in his footsteps.
Apparently he writes a lot of similar content that gets the PC crowd upset. Reading that, I’d guess it’s not actually such a gotcha after all that he would be in the Coulter audience. She writes with the same effect.
