Americans For Truth About Homosexuality President Peter LaBarbera today urged conservative pundit Ann Coulter to reconsider her appearance at "Homocon," a September event for the homosexual Republican group GOProud.
LaBarbera said:
As a fan of Ann Coulter, it pains me to see her cave in to political correctness and lend credibility to the phony homosexual "conservatives" over at GOProud. Worse, Coulter is sending a dangerous message to young Americans that homosexuality is OK. (It's actually a sin.) Fully half of GOProud's top 10 federal priorities center on using the Government to advance homosexuality, including:
#4) "Repealing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'" -- Homosexualizing the military is reckless, especially in wartime. GOProud claims to defend "individual rights," but what about the privacy rights of normal soldiers who don't want to bunk and shower with men who lust after other men? Moreover, if DADT is repealed, the military will become a massive government bureaucracy for pro-homosexual "diversity" -- subjecting millions of tradition-minded servicemen to Orwellian, same-sex propaganda to enforce its new lavender crusade. (Chaplains: beware.)
#7) "Opposing any anti-gay federal marriage amendment." Coulter must know that America might be just one Supreme Court justice away from legalizing oxymoronic homosexual "marriage" -- which would undermine religious freedom in every state in the nation. A Federal Marriage Amendment could be the only way to stop this Roe v. Wade-like disaster. And since when did state-enforced homosexual "marriage" -- with its corrosive effect on liberty and linkage to Homosexuality Promotion in schools -- become "conservative"?
GOProud is non-committal on ENDA (Employment Non-Discrimination Act), which would federalize workers' "rights" based on homosexuality and gender confusion. A truly conservative organization would fight this federal power grab -- and GLBT lawyers' dream legislation -- tooth and nail. Ann, are you aware that these days it's Christians like Julea Ward and Matt Barber who defend biblical truth -- not "gays" -- who are victims of corporate discrimination?
One must ask Coulter, who professes Christianity:
-- Would you speak at an event for "Republicans For Responsible Porn Use," or "Republicans for Higher Taxes," or Republicans for Choice [Abortion] -- if such groups took legitimately conservative positions on other issues like gun rights?
-- Does God condemn only Democratic "men who lie with a male as one who lies with a woman" -- while giving Republican sodomists a pass?
Homosexual practice may be hip in New York City, but objectively it is always wrong and unnatural, and often unhealthy. Thankfully it's also changeable, as proved by thousands of ex-gay men and ex-lesbians. Ann: why don't you speak instead at a conference for former homosexuals? It's not PC, but it would be far more consistent with your conservative principles than celebrating GOProud -- which works directly against the Republican Party's pro-family and pro-marriage platform.
Please reconsider and nix your GOProud talk -- in the name of true conservatism.
This moronic piece does nothing but rehash the same old lies about homosexuals and homosexuality. (I;m straight by the way).
Homosexuality is NOT changable,any more than left-handedness.
(I'm a southpaw too and I didn't "choose" to be one).
Gays are not a threat to the military. They serve with absolutely no problem in Europe and Israel, and if gays were a threat to the Israeli military they certainly wouldn't be allowed there.
Homosexuals have been serving in the military from the very beginning.They just kept their sexual preference to themselves.
Saying that same sex marriage is a threat society and would also threaten religious freedom is asinine.
Why are conservatives so obsessed with what certain people do in private? What business is this of theirs?Who appointed them judge,jury and executioner of gay people?
to speak her mind. I don't think she's falling on the idea of PC.
Also sharing showers is gross. It is the same disturbing mentality of guys that use urinals and talk. I don't like. Don't talk to me while I'm peeing. Wait 30 seconds and then speak. It's not as disturbing as those that are using the toilet and are yacking it up on a cell phone. What idiot is on the other side not realizing the sound of the person..where they are. Come on.
Showers should be personal. If you want to share, by all means go ahead, but give choices. Yes, it makes it easier. But it also does something else. Free peep show. hahah.
Sharing the shower has no benefit for anyone that doesn't look down. talking during such isn't better. It's usually more graphic.

Christian News Wire is at it again, preaching how homosexuality is a sin and how bad gay people are. The sad part is there are a lot of ignorant and uneducated people who believe them and idiots like Peter LeBarbera. The truth is, gay is OK, and God has been making us for the last 15,000 years (Oh. I forgot. Your're all fundamentalists so you think the earth is only 3000 years old).
Come to Canada, Mr. LeBarbera, and let you try to get on with that right-wing crap up here. You'd be getting deported back to the "land of the free?" pretty damn quick. Then again, you might have some luck in Alberta.
Ann Coulter is always right. So far, anyway. Truth is, Gay people have the same "rights" as I do. I do not believe that the government is the distributor of those rights though.
Rights, as described by our founding fathers, are obvious and "self evident"
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,"
Government does not generate rights. They exist independent of government, no matter what your religious views are. The power of government is derived solely from the consent of those that are governed.
The definition of marriage is not a thing that government can rightfully define. The people define it for themselves.
it's important to separate the things government can do from those that it cannot do.
The heart of all this: whether society will accept your deviant sexuality as equivilent to normal sexuality is something government cannot legislate.
Sorry, it cannot be done. Society must decide on it's own.
I'm not sure where to start with this posting, but how about the part where a conservative has to believe that our country is ruled by any given religion and what that ONE religion believes. You obviously miss what America is all about and what it means to be an American.
Go away bad dream.
I don't follow anyone, because those that appear to be on the same path usually end up just getting in my way.
The Religious Right has been a loud voice in the Conservative movement for years.
There are quite a few on the left that would like to see them in jail for thinking this way and some that would settle for shutting them up..legally.

a 'poor me' post. No one hates you and no one is going to feel sorry for you.
We all thank you for emphasizing how important education really is.
I'll leave victim status for actual victims. That would be along the lines of a ten year old kid that gets beaten by his drunk stepfather every night. A victim wouldn't be someone who has people that don't like them and what they think and it wouldn't be an adult that doesn't get their way in life like a grown man that has to live with his boyfriend for the next ten or so years instead of his husband. Pity, self or unwarranted, is bs.
As for the education comment, I'm glad to do my part in helping kids stay in school.

Who on the left would? I cannot think of any big name folk on the left who have ever voiced such an opinion.
