Peter LaBarbera, the president of the local anti-gay group Americans for the Truth About Homosexuality ( AFTAH ) , wants controversial right-wing pundit Ann Coulter to reconsider her appearance at HOMOCON 2010, a Sept. 25 event in New York City organized by the gay conservative group GOProud, according to the AFTAH website.
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."
Regarding the HOMOCON appearance, Coulter said, "I'm thrilled to be giving a speech to a room full of gay conservatives, because according to every single liberal I've ever met, such people don't even exist! Who's next on my speaking tour? Conservative unicorns? ( And don't kid yourself—they're out there. I get letters from them all the time. ) ," according to GOProud.org .
The website also states that "GOProud is committed to a traditional conservative agenda that emphasizes limited government, individual liberty, free markets and a confident foreign policy." |
