My Fight With Ryan Sorba, the Kid Who Denounced GOProud

This kid is deep in the closet, people.

My colleague Nate Gunderson caught me as I was nearly out the door. I was walking back from the bloggers’ lounge with a friend in the Virginia newspaper business, and Nate tapped my shoulder to tell me that Ryan Sorba, the kid who embarrassed himself in front of the world by denouncing GOProud to a round of boos, was standing twenty feet away from me. He had a few people near him, probably curious about who he was and what he stood for.

After deliberating for a few seconds, I decided to let Adam Brickley and a couple of guys from The Lobbyist walk to Murphy’s, where the FrumForum party was being held, by themselves. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to meet this guy.

From what I can tell after googling him, he’s not in the closet.

In the closet? You think Alex Knepper is ... secretly straight?

Anyone, like Sorba, who responds to abuse by GOProud is to be accused of being a homosexual?

Anyone with moral or intellectual objections to homosexuality is ordinarily accused of being a homosexual and almost always by homosexuals themselves.

I guess this means those throwing the accusations around realize there isn't a bigger insult than accusing someone of being a homosexual.

Sounds like Alex Knepper is trying to “out-Perez Hilton” Perez Hilton.

Why do the homosexuals need a special group at the GOP? Why can’t they promote strong fiscal spending and limited government like everyone else? They would benefit from that as much as everyone else.

The butt-poker who wrote the blog very liberally, pun intented, uses stock liberal words and phrases to confront Mr. Sorba.

When the butt-pokers stop trying to set up their cruising farm-team by trying to sexualize 5 year-olds in our schools, I might cut them some slack.

Good grief. Anyone, like Sorba, who responds to abuse by GOProud is to be accused of being a homosexual? Is that the highest insult this author can make?

That is really sad.


Have you seen the video? I don't know If Sorba sleeps with other men - and frankly I don't care. But man, his mannerisms sure are queer.

Yes, the most degrading insult homosexuals can think of to make toward their detractors is calling them homosexuals. Go figure.

Many Latin men have tendencies most northerners consider effeminate. Not that I dedicate much time to thinking about the topic, but I suspect aristocratic British homosexuals picked up some of these mannerisms when they went abroad to indulge their vices, and so this became a gay stereotype in the Anglo-American mind.

Nope, since generally we don’t read fag blogs around here.

LOL some do!

And claim they don't know anything about them.

I am a gay Republican. I am not “self-hating.” I am not confused.

I am comfortable enough with my sexuality to think of myself in terms of traits other than simply my sexual orientation. I believe that my attraction to the same sex should have no bearing to my thoughts on tax policy, trade, foreign affairs or abortion. I believe that my sexuality is merely an incidental part of my life and should not be a major factor in my decision-making.

I am aware that there is a rich tradition of intellectualism, secularism and equality within the Republican Party outside of the Religious Right. I am aware that Hillary Clinton and Dick Cheney hold the same positions on gay rights. I am aware that Bill Clinton signed into law the last major anti-gay piece of legislation passed by Congress - the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. I am self-respecting enough to know that the words of the Democrats on gay rights are no substitute for their lack of action.
