Well that simple distinction was lost in the headline.

I am willing to accept the proposition that one cannot be a political activist for Gay issues AND be a conservative, because you are fighting against the values most conservatives wish to “conserve”.

I reject the idea that one cannot be Gay and conservative, just as much as I reject the idea that one cannot cohabitate or engage in premarital sex and be a conservative (or a frequent self abuser, etc).

We are all sinners and sin is sin.

Sinners should be welcome in the GOP or it is going to be one lonely election day.

Advocation of sin as a political philosophy is not conservative and should have no place in the GOP platform.

I agree the distinction was lost in the headline and, to some extent, in the article as well. I wouldn't have written what Star Parker wrote and I won't try to defend every comma. Like her I have a problem with GOProud but not because its members are gay. You summarize that problem very well.
