No GOProud at Next Year's CPAC

There is a surprise! Not really.

GOProud, the allegedly gay Republican organization whose involvement with the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conference stirred up so much anger among the right-wing they are politely being asked to not come back.  GOProud's presence atthe conference was enough to make a few very large participants stay away.  Those include, Heritage Foundation, Concerned Women for America, Media Research Center and the hate group, Family Research Council.

Apparently the CPAC cannot afford to alienate these major players in their activities, so the gays get thrown under the Republican bus.  Again, I have to wonder why the hell a group who is plainly not welcome and whose very existence goes against some of the GOP platform planks calls itself Republican?  The degree of self-loathing of the GOProud folks is apparently limitless.  For example, GOProud volunteer Matt Hissey is quoted as saying, "I don't really like gay people."  Nice!
