(excerpt) This moment at CPAC is even more important for the conservative movement as it happened at an important time when there is already a generational change going on in America. Boomers are fading, Xer’s are ruling, and Millenials are finding their way. Forty-eight percent of those who participated in the CPAC straw poll last week identified themselves as students. They are the future of conservativism. And they shouted down an anti-gay bigot.
There will surely be other homocon-related clashes within the conservative movement, just as the Democrat Party has regularly used the gay community as pawns in their re-election schemes for decades. But as the late gay political icon Harvey Milk, who started out as a Republican, famously said:
Gay people, we will not win our rights by staying silently in our closets… We are coming out. We are coming out to fight the lies, the myths, the distortions. We are coming out to tell the truths about gays, for I am tired of the conspiracy of silence, so I’m going to talk about it. And I want you to talk about it. You must come out. Come out to your parents, your relatives.
Last week at CPAC we saw the many years of work by dedicated conservative gays and lesbians standing up for their values and the principles of freedom and liberty finally pay off. There was a tipping point for gays in America last week at CPAC. It happened because they have been coming out to their parents, friends and relatives over time… as American conservatives who just happen to be gay.

Sorry. I didn’t realize you were referring to Breitbart.
The comments section is loaded down with supporters of this column. Anyone disagreeing is being shouted down. Disappointing that this is happening at one of the Big sites.
By popular vote. And, pots of gold should be free for the taking at the end of the Skittles rainbow. Neither is going to happen, so maybe better deal with it on the federal level.
It’s okay. Hennie might have been referring to Carroll. I couldn’t be sure.
this is just evidence of progressive infiltration
the GOP is dead
Could you please cite where I have advocated gay marriage?
Some of them don’t even like guns. They do hate taxes, though, and some of them also hate “capitalism,” whatever that means to them. The nut who flew his plane into the IRS building was one of this type.
“By judges or a popular vote?”
By what ever means a state decides to determine such matters.
So, simply because I have gay friends, I cannot be a conservative?
No.
Most of your post disagree with Freepers on any subject matter. Very curious.
Can you cite where I have posted a liberal viewpoint?
Yeah. Your posting record. It's always contrary to Freeper opinion. And I'm not the only one that's ever called you a troll so I know you aren't surprised.
So you are on board with the kiddie gay sex clubs in the pulic schools and teaching kids K-12 that it is fine, dandy, healthy and wonderful to do what homsexuals do to one another? It’s alright with you if we permit activist homosexuals to redefine marriage and family in their own image and likeness? That is the homosexual agenda. To social engineer society around their sexual morals, beliefs and behaviors and to put everyone else in the closet who does not agree with them.
Gays can do whatever they want to one another - they are free. But the gay agenda is to impose their idenity upon the society with speical rights. Their idenity is derived from their sexual behaviors - all inclusive. Anyone who does not think it is a great idea to spread that sermon across the land and social engineer according to the wackiest homosexual sexual appitites, will be shouted down as bigots. This is where you are?
How are the “conservative” homos different from the bunch who are self centered extremists? There is no difference.
Nobody needs to be banished; they could be conservative and gay, but they wouldn’t be pushing the radical gay agenda and identity politics if they were truly conservative.
They’ve been brainwashed by the educrats. That’s why a lot of Christians choose to home school.
Evidently they want my state to accept something we are against pushed on us by other states.
I don’t think i said that I advocate the homo agenda.
