I’ve attended dozens of Ann Coulter speeches over the years. They’ve been on college campuses, donor events, and conferences with thousands and thousands of people. It’s a common occurrence for reporters to lie about the event in order to suit their narrative and image of Coulter. But, after reading about an event this past weekend I felt like I was in an episode of “The Twilight Zone.”
I was fortunate to be a guest of Coulter’s at a New York City cocktail party where she gave a short speech and did Q & A with GOProud, a group of conservative-minded gays. Unsurprisingly, Coulter stuck to her principles by defending traditional marriage between one man and one woman. They were completely charmed and loved every minute of the repartee. What’s a reporter to make of a crowded room of open-minded conservatives with Ann Coulter at the helm? Lie, of course!

I haven’t studied this issue, nor do I care to. However, let me offer some personal anectodal evidence. In my 53 years, I have had 3 gay room mates. 2 were very effeminate in physical appearance and mannerisms and it was obvious that they were gay. My opinion was that it was nature at work. The third was not so, and I believed that his gay nature was the product of his environment, specifically child abuse. Dunno if my opinions were or are right, but there was an obvious physical difference with the first 2 and most males. My 2 cents.
No, I don't think this is the case. Because of the business I am in, I am friends with several gay women and men. The women tend to lean Republican and conservative. They are are not closet liberals or trolls & I would not call them feminists either. They are smart women and understand reality.
What a shame they don't keep in their bedroom and out of the schools, military and courts. Then it becomes my business because they forced the issue.
benewton : Absolutely concur.
maddog55: Well said..
I support the right of homosexuals to be conservatives, and the brains of conservatives to differentiate between homosexual conservatives, and homosexual progressive-RINO shills, and I acknowledge the existence of the two different groups.
I hope that's REAL CLEAR to y'all deep thinkers out there in Freeperland.
Also, anyone who mentions conservatism without also mentioning the Constitution is one of the many, many bailout-paid progressive Obama shills infesting Free Republic and trying to divide conservatives.
No intelligent homosexual is a Democrat, because history proves a million times over that collectivists are the most fervent oppressors and murderers of homosexuals. So with the rise of the Tea Party movement, I expect many more homosexuals to cross over politically, as they learn the treachery of their "side."
On the other hand, without the protections of the American Constitution, I would not be interested in knowing many Bible thumpers. I've been around long enough to see the viciousness in a lot of what people call Christianity, and every time I have, I've thanked Jesus for the Constitution of Negative Rights (aka mind your own business).
Oh, and that Christianity thing? A few times I've actually found Christians who incorporate all of Jesus's sissy teachings, too. You know, forgivness, mercy, charity, not being proud or arrogant, not throwing the first stones, loving others as He loved us... And amazingly, some of them also are vets, own guns and believe homosexuality is a sickness, too - but that it's also private, and something they should pray over, rather than damn with contempt and shun from political involvement. Funny, huh? I mean, how can they call themselves Christians?
Of course, this level of discussion doesn't match the crude bumper-stickers being passed off here as conservative thought. So you can go back to dragging your knuckles now - I've made ore than enough points for you to sound out for the next few hours with Hooked On Phonetics.
I repeatedly made the point Ann would do what she does... humorously deliver her conservative viewpoints whether her audience wants to hear them or not. With clarity and sarcasm. This was no different than her speeches before college crowds that are often infested with students who don't even want her to be able to speak. She obviously relishes her role as an unapologetically conservative antagonist. She doesn't pander. Bless her.
The gays can have all agenda they want, but as a conservative, I am unwilling to redefine "civil rights" to include sexual behavior or redefine marriage to include same-sex. I will not pretend that there is no difference between a man and a woman and the wondrous relationship that exists between them. Nor will I allow them to use the force of government to indocrinate the children.
If GOProud understands all that and still wants to vote "R"....well then...whatever.
GOProud and Log Cabin Republicans push homosexual rights. Your friends may not be members.
Well. That leaves out GO PROUD now doesn't it.
what gene produces testosterone and/or estrogen?
that one
I have no problem with gays who want to be treated like everyone else and NO
T parade it around
I have a lifelong freind who turned out to be gay and he never talked about it
Also i have a family member and she is gay and I kind of alwas knew
it is some thing in the way they are made. The way they are made is all in their genes, isn’t it?
But when they try to promote it, and recrukt, and demand special rights, thats when I object
Of course, you are correct, a conservative would be fine with what they do when alone. But they try to make it a part of the lives of all of the rest of us. And that is NOT compatible with conservatism.
Agreed. My business as well. I said "The love of which no one speaks" for a reason.
“The CHOICE of promoting it SIMULTANEOUSLY with a leftist agenda and prmoton/recruitment of children is incompatible with conservatism.”
Tisk, tisk, logic again. When will it stop.
I have learned that there are those on FR who don’t understand that.
it is the case, read their manifesto, it’;s all about homosexuality.
They are not conservatives at all but homosexuals trying to con some people.
As for saying homosexual women tend to lean republican, well I’m speechless.
Homosexuality is disgusting, and unnatural.
Any woman wearing a strap on and pretending to be a man to get off has some serious mental issues.
That goes for a man having sex with another man.
Then how do you explain people who are born with both genitalia? There are people born like that and you can't say that was a choice, now can you? I used to buy the "it's a choice" line of thought, but the more I read and understood the complexities of the human genome, the more I have come to believe that homosexuality is at least in part genetic. For that reason, I hold no ill will for people who happen to be homosexual. For whatever reason they are attracted to people of the same sex and it's not for me to judge them.
You're correct Tal...relax FRiend...;)
I don’t doubt there may be some “nature” related to homosexuality much the same way one may be pre-disposed to drinking too much, however, there is no “gay gene.” That being the case, nurture is the only alternative.
Either way, that doesn’t make the behavior acceptable in a civilized society. We all have negative proclivities; if we acted upon them, we’d all be much worse off individually and as a society.
“it would have been bred out of existence long ago”
Not to get into this argument, but there are spontaneous mutations that occur. Take a look at neurofibromatosis NF2.
love the part where the person said homosexual women are smart and they understand reality. If that were the case they’d be with a man having sex and be able to reproduce with have natural sex.
