Good Morning!

I could also ask, do you have any indication that she will not?

Does she give sermons or entertain?

She is giving them legitimacy by recognizing them. Why is a "conservative icon" speaking to a radical homosexual group? And lashing out at someone that called her on it? Why is she happy about being the "Judy Garland of the right"?

The perception out there is that this validates them.

"This is how institutions evolve and emerge within a conservative culture," says Jon Henke, a libertarian-leaning blogger. "In time, gay people will be married, extending the valuable social institution of marriage to more people. In time, conservatives will argue that the positive impact that marriage has on the gay community is further evidence of the importance of the institution of marriage."

Change has come gradually, and it's worth noting that Coulter's decision to speak at HomoCon is merely the latest example of prominent conservatives (of all ages) lending, at least, tacit support to the cause of gay rights.

Or are you trying to tell me that she'll take their money then insult them? Would that be honorable?

Well for the branch that's into sadomasochistic activities, it might be a step on the road to recovery to pay just to get insulted, instead of slapped around... ;)

“Or are you trying to tell me that she’ll take their money then insult them? Would that be honorable?”

Honorable?? Unless they have given her specific do’s and don’ts, and she agreed to them, it’s honorable to speak about what she believes as they have given her the platform. I would suggest that if she has strong opinions or disagreements with their platform it would be a dishonor to herself not to address them.
