(38,549 posts)that the Pink Pistols is a right-wing Libertarian-affiliated organization that is best known for harassing real LGBT groups at their events by showing up with guns, and that was ruled inappropriate for citing at DU2 because of its right-wingery.
So I'm not sure why anybody here at DU would be bothered telling anything to the Pink Pistols, let alone listening to anything it has to say.
Awww, they seem to have taken down their blacklist:

"LIST of ANTI-GUN, GROUPS, ORGs, COMPANIES, PRODUCTS & PEOPLE:"
As I said about it only a few months ago:

Not a word about ANTI-GAY groups, orgs, etc.
But they got Ellen Degeneres on the blacklist. And Melissa Etheridge ... k.d. lang ...
Snork.
You fly your colours again, but they don't seem to be the rainbow flag.

Anti-gun talk show host Rosie O'Donnell was called a "freak" by one speaker for her recent admission that she's a lesbian. ... Debbie Schlussel, a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show and an avid supporter of the NRA referred to O'Donnell when she said, "She's not cool. She's a freak." Schlussel went on to bash actor Jude Law who recently admitted in an interview that he hesitated to handle a gun in the filming of his latest movie fearing it would contribute to people thinking guns were cool. Schlussel referred to the heterosexual Law as a "girly-man".
Kelly Anne Conway, a conservative pollster, droned on for some time about how the "liberal" media has forced changes in the public school curriculum that put gay and lesbian tolerance ahead of the basic studies of math, English and History. "They're so worried now about how many mommies Heather has that (the teachers) run out of time" Conway went on to state venomously that gay and lesbian issues aren't important to "real" Americans.
Grover Norquist, an NRA Board Member and columnist for American Spectator Magazine, not to be outdone, put forth the barb; "we don't have annual parades for gun owners so everyone can appreciate that gun ownership is an alternative lifestyle and look at how great we are." He also quipped that liberal Americans "don't want (men) to date women."
... Also in attendance was Tom Boyer, President of the Pink Pistols, a gay pro-gun group from San Francisco. Boyer left the panel discussion shortly after the gay bashing began. He promised to take the matter of the gay bashing up with "NRA Brass" at their next general meeting.
Which one of those people (let alone the NRA, whose convention attendees found it all uproarious) ended up on the Pink Pistols' blacklist?
Why none of them, of course. But Rosie O'Donnell did.
Yeah, let's all get our memes from the Pink Pistols.
