I don’t think they are particularly splitting conservatives.

Guess Who's Coming to CPAC? (Breitbart & Norquist Gush Over GOProud in Homosexual Publication)

Breitbart minces no words: "If being conservative means rejecting gay conservatives because they are gay, then fine, I'm not a conservative."

.Going to the substance of what he says is the primary reason for his support of GOProud, Breitbart says, "I believe, to the core of my being, that what I'm doing is supported by the vast majority of the people who consider themselves conservatives in this country."

Barron looks at the landscape: "We've said all along that we don't think that the conservative movement is unwelcoming to gay people. There is a fringe element. A really nasty, anti-gay, bigoted element. And we have smoked them out, and we have marginalized them."

You know, they don’t get the concept do they? They don’t understand that conservatism doesn’t support the notion of identity politics.

Why should there be a group called gay conservatives? Is there a booth there for heterosexual conservatives? People don’t separate up unless they are looking to push something onto others by acting as though sharing the same rights based on the Constitution is somehow unfair.

We have lost the concept of what is normal and what is not.

They need to change the name and remove Conservative from the name.

Geesh
