from the not-at-all anti-gay American Family Association:



CPAC and GOProud - strange bedfellows

A spokesman for the American Family Association says a Republican homosexual activist group doesn't belong at a popular conservative political conference in February.

The homosexual activist group GOProud, an offshoot of the Log Cabin Republicans, boasts on its website that it will be a co-sponsor of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington on February 18-20. Jimmy LaSalvia, executive director of GOProud, says taking part in CPAC "is one of the most important things will do all year," and affords the homosexual activist group "an incredible opportunity to deliver (its) message."

GOProud advocates same-sex "marriage," a repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, and "expanding access to domestic partner benefits" for homosexuals.

Bryan Fischer is director of issue analysis for the American Family Association and host of the radio program Focal Point with Bryan Fischer. He says CPAC chairman David Keene and CPAC organizers have a serious problem on their hands.

"The bottom line is that homosexuality is not a conservative value," Fischer states emphatically. "There are any number of co-sponsoring organizations that I believe are going to have a real problem with the fact that they are giving such a prominent place to an organization which is such an active proponent of gay rights."

"And it's GOProud, they're identifying themselves with the Republican Party...and yet their legislative agenda is directly contrary to the platform of the Republican Party."

CPAC did not respond to a request for an interview with Keene. Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel is drafting a letter to be signed by top social conservative leaders pledging to boycott CPAC if they permit GOProud's sponsorship of the event.
