GOProud To Be Shut Out Of CPAC 2012
Joe.My.God has more scoop on infighting between CPAC and GOProud:

World Net Daily reports that the board of directors of the governing organization of CPAC has voted to exclude GOProud (and any other "homosexual advocacy" group) from next year's convention. This move comes after GOProud chairman Chris Barron came under fire for referring to some conservative leaders as "bigots." Which they are, of course, but Barron had violated Reagan's Eleventh Commandment: "Never speak ill of another Republican." ...

~snip~

UPDATE: Twitter is presently going nuts about the meltdown Barron just had on the Michelangelo Signorile show when he refused to also apologize for calling LGBT activists "the gay left Taliban." Apologies for bigots, yes, but not for gays. Signorile then booted him off the show....

3. Gays are natural allies with conservatives
Thus saith Ann Coulter. And how can you call people a bunch of bigots when they go out of their way to shower you with special attention by excluding you from all future gatherings? CPAC would never do that for the Big Money Boyz!
