Conservative PAC Says No to Gay Conservative Group?!? GOPROUD

The American Conservative Union CPAC has decided to ban GOProud from attending its event. However, it claims that members can attend individually. This is a terrible decision. I've attended CPAC before, and I am really disappointed.

@ViCe1986 - No, your religious beliefs are denying another's right to life, liberty and property. You have a right to express your views, a right to practice your beliefs, but you do not have the right to force others to practice your beliefs. Think of this way, some religious people do not agree with Mormon beliefs. Would you like it if they denied you the right to attend a Mormon church? Certainly your attendance in a Mormon Church does not violate their rights and you have rights as well.

Republicans discriminating against gay people is not news, its just how they work and think.

He is complety right. As a conservative christian, ive heard every anti-gay arguement, but the fact is history will not be on that side. One thing that always bugs me is the idea that marriage is a purely relgious creation that involves a man and women being bonded by God. Truth is this is a fiary tale. Marraige has been about money and power since the beginning of time. The divorce rate is above 50 percent! If a gay couple chooses to marry, more power to them.

Republicans need to wake up, smell the coffee. Gays make up around 10% of voters. The democratics already have the vast amount of that 10% on there side. Republicans can promote marriage as between a man and woman and still gain a great share of gay votes. Just give gays a voice in the party. Conservative gays like low taxes, small federal government, law and order, gun ownership rights and protection of the unborn. Just like straight conservatives. Marriage is one issue of many.

Sexual orientation is one of two things.. A personal choice, or something one is born with.

If you're born with your orientation, then homosexuals have equal rights to everything, including marriage, for the same reason that people of different racial backgrounds, or gender have equal rights.

If its a personal choice, then homosexuals have equal rights for the same reason that people of different religious CHOICES are allowed those rights.

@necrotyk1985 You've obviously never read anything written by founding fathers. The US system was set up so majority rule could not endanger the freedoms of the minority.

It does not matter if the majority of americans were for against abolitionism, suffrage, or gay rights. We are all equal under the law. As long as the institution of marriage is a government institution, then homosexuals have just as much right to marry as heterosexuals.

[necrotyk1985]

@antipryzm Unamerican is forcing to majority of Americans change an age old custom, by forcing it on them by rule of law, even when they voted against it(California). Marriage is a union between a MAN and a WOMAN before God. Not between a man and a man, or a woman and a woman.

Gays ... do not have the right to redefine marriage for everyone else.

Don't like it? To bad. In a free society I have the right to disagree. And last I heard, most Americans support my views.

@ginad17 replace republicans with neocons. There's plenty of republicans that support homosexual rights, and plenty of christians that do too... its usually the hard right neoconservative xian republicans that are the loud whining haters.

@RapIsDeadly "two men or women can never marry each other. " Do not make statements without anything to back them up. Marriage has historically been polygamist, or arranged by parents. You do not have the authority to define marriage how you see fit, the moment JoPs started performing marriages, it became a legal contract condoned by the government, and therefore must be equally applied to all no matter sexual orientation.
