Conservative Political Action Conference Censors LGBT Group

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) an annual gathering of conservative activists will allow GOProud a newly formed conservative gay/lesbian group to co-sponsor the convention, but refuses to allow them the opportunity to speak. Controversy erupted after far right groups threatened to pull out and boycott the event, and so called "family value" organizations were outraged.

The organizers of the conference will gladly take the money from the gay group but maintains that opposition to same-sex marriage is a consensus among conservatives and that it is not subject to debate or discussion.

Demand that CPAC allows all conservative voices to shape the values of their philosophical base and party.

Gay Republicans to Rally in Fort Lauderdale Tonight

A group of gay and lesbian conservatives will gather in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate the arrival of a new club in South Florida on Friday Sept. 11.

The new club was created as another avenue for local gay and lesbian conservatives to network and to engage in local activism. The group’s basic principles of a free market economy strong defense personal freedom and responsibility align perfectly with basic Republican tent pole issues. In addition the Sunshine Republicans aim to increase GLBT awareness and inclusion in the party and in the nation.

While monthly meeting information is to be announced the new club will host its high profile kickoff event at the Fort Lauderdale City Hall on Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. The event is open to the public in an attempt to lure conservatives to the new group and to the Republican Party. The meeting will feature special guest Robert Lowry Republican candidates for Congress and other guests from the community. More special guests are to be announced.
