Well, playing the Devil's Advocate here: She's against homo marriage She's against homos in the military As a professed Christian I assume she knows that their behavior is sinful As a voting block with substantial financial resources she doesn't think it wise for the Repubs. to marginalize them She thinks they should get help with their "problem" (I guess like an alcoholic would) and a subset of that would be if you want to minister to them, you've got to be where they are.

Although I can't read Ann Coulters mind, I'm afraid I can't buy that rationale. I don't believe Ann is going to convince sodomites to change their (sexual) behavior by attending 'GOProud' board meetings as an adviser. I think she is being willingly used by this group and I have to question her motives. She is not naive and certainly not stupid. So, if I accept your hypothesis regarding Coulter's reasons for joining the 'GOProud' board in an advisory position, I have to consider her reasons rather unsophisticated, which doesn't ring true of this well-educated (Cornell, U of M law school), accomplished (author of 8 books and a newspaper column plus numerous TV appearances as a political commentator) 49-year-old woman. Ann's decision to join the 'GOProud' board is confounding and has diminished my respect for Ann Coulter's commitment to conservative ideology. However, I'm not quite ready to 'never read/watch/listen to her again'. As much as I dislike her decision regarding 'GOProud' I'll be watching to see if this move has any effect on Ann's political commentary. I hope not.
