http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2011/07/gay-republican-group-goproud-banned-from-participation-in-cpac/The gay conservative group GO Proud, who has recently come to the defense of GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann, has been informed by the American Conservative Union that they will not not be invited to participate in the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
GOProud had been a participant in CPAC for the past two years, even being a co-sponsor of the 2011 conference — a move which sparked massive boycotts of the event from social conservative organizations like the Heritage Foundation, the American Family Association, and the Family Research Council.
In a letter addressed to Jimmy LaSalvia, the executive director of GOProud, ACU Director Gregg Keller informed the organization that they would not be invited to participate formally in the conference, but that individuals from the organization could still attend.
