I continue to believe that.
I wanted her to say: It is "You are not conservatives." She didn't say that it was impossible for a gay to be a conservative (which is the truth.)
In fact the head of GOProud picked up on that and said:
GOProud's executive director, Jimmy LaSalvia, told TPM after the speech, "I don't agree with Ann Coulter about gay marriage, but there was a real conversation here. That's what we're trying to start." He added, "We want people to see that it isn't 'us versus them.'" As an organization, he explained, GOProud focuses strictly on federal issues which means that, institutionally, they don't take a position on state policy issues like same sex marriage. Unlike the Log Cabin Republicans who exist, according to LaSalvia, to push from many of the same agenda items as the "gay left," GOProud seeks to redefine what are "gay" issues and push for issues of the largest importance to the LGBT community.
So, the part I disagreed with is what Ann Coulter accomplished. She allowed them to state that a "conversation had begun."
That means it looks like "all the family, sitting around the kitchen table, discussing family stuff."
Homosexuality can never be part of the conservative family.
Excellent post!
Thank you! Excellent post.
Do your views apply to conservatives speaking to liberal groups too?
Well said. I hope people understand the distinction you’re making because it doesn’t get much simpler than that.
