Gay Conservatives to Party With Ann Coulter at 'Homocon 2010'


The gay conservative group GOProud — whose platform is essentially "cut taxes, while being gay" — is hosting a party called "Homocon 2010" with Ann Coulter, "The Right Wing Judy Garland." Fun! But isn't Ann Coulter mean to gay people?

Slate's Dave Weigel asked GOProud executive director Jimmy LaSalvia about an incident in Ann Coulter's past involving a certain gay epithet, and whether GOProud cares:

Coulter's never been as concerned with social issues as the median conservative pundit. She does, however, like to use gay stereotypes when she mocks liberals — she was slapped on the wrist for calling John Edwards a "faggot" at the 2007 Conservative Political Action Conference. No big deal, says LaSalvia.

"We are not concerned about what the PC crowd has to say," he says. "This is about having fun. I don't agree with everything she has said in her lifetime, just like she doesn't agree with everything I've ever said....but we can still party together, right?"

He raises an interesting point, about humans being able to have fun together, despite having battled on political things in the past. We'll have to consider this provocative new idea.

2. I'd like to see somebody do drag as Coulter
but I don't fancy his chances of getting out alive.

Jimmy LaSalvia, Head Of New Gay GOP Group, Co-Signs With Leaders of Anti-Gay Hate Groups


The eagle-eyed Jeremy Hooper at Good As You has noticed that Jimmy LaSalvia (left), the cofounder and head of GOProud, the new uber-right Log Cabin Republicans spinoff, has signed onto a document calling for a Senate filibuster to block the approval of SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

And who are LaSalvia's cosignees? How about Peter LaBarbera, Donald Wildmon, Rev. Lou Sheldon, Gary Bauer, and just about every vicious, right-wing, Christianist, "pro-family", homophobic shithead whose name has ever appeared on this blog, many of whom head certified hate groups.

Jeremy Hooper: "GOProud? When your form of 'pride' is this willing to join forces with your community's most heated opponents, who needs shame?"

9. SomeWHERE...over the ego...
Does this mean Coulter dies of an accidental Seconal overdose?

We'll take hope where we can get it, I guess.

Coulter has already outlived Garland (dead at 47) by 2 years. Another fact for my Fundamentalist Atheist file, under the tab "Proof That God Does Not Exist."

10. Except Judy Garland had more talent in a hangnail on her little finger
than Ann Coulter will ever be able to muster in her entire career.

21. I don't think there is any classic film star who can be compared to Annie Thrax
Maybe Francis Farmer after she went insane, but that is even up for debate.

18. The whole concept of "conservative gays" fascinates me...

...do they realize that many conservatives want them dead? Or at the very least, want them to be "converted" or to simply go away?

19. That really isn't a concern
Most of the ones that I know are really fiscal conservatives and have an income level that, quite frankly, insulates them from common rabble conservatives. You don't bump into a lot of Bible thumpers in Barney's

23. Doesn't surprise me that she has a thing about gay men. . .FYG. . .
I give you Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, in an interview he did with Salon back in 2004:

http://dir.salon.com/story/books/int/2004/07/08/flynt/index.html
(page 3)

(snip)
Salon: You mention Ann Coulter several times in your book. Did she really have an affair with Bob Guccione?

Flynt: Bob Guccione Jr., who was the publisher of Spin magazine. And she was dating him. I find it hard to believe that any man could screw Ann Coulter, but they were having an affair.

Salon: I had the vibe when I was talking with her that she was in the closet, fulfilling some sort of Republican sexual irony.

Flynt: You know, I call her a fag hag. She does like to hang out with gay guys a lot.
(snip)

24. Er, no, that's probably Leni Riefenstahl or maybe Ayn Rand.
I totally agree about LGBT people coming together to have fun regardless of politics. That's what Lady GaGa, Bruce Springsteen, and RuPaul are for. Ann Coulter is just no fucking fun. She's like the female Dennis Miller; a right-wing has-been who was never all that great in the first place.
