No,I'm talking about censorship—you are allowed to attend a GOProud circle-blow if you so wish—whether you belong there or not is moot as far as the US Constitution is concerned.
Of course the homosexuals have the right to exclude you if it is a private affair (and unfortunately they usually aren't) but you are allowed to try and do have a right to be there if it is a government sponsored function unless prevented by a law or regulation consistent with the US Constitution. CPAC this year was a train wreck with a few well spoken conservatives and many loud spoken looney tunes.The organizers are to blame not any outsider and only those actually there can assume any responsibility--not those who were not there but gave their support for the constitutional principles that gave the event the right to be a train wreck.

It's a ridiculous point. Whether GOProud was allowed at CPAC has nothing to do with the First Amendment.

The issue was and is whether homosexual activists should be allowed to have influence in the conservative movement. CPAC, apparently, has come to its senses and finally said no.
