No, a disgusted realist. Are you completely oblivious to the fact that the organizers of CPAC allowed a leftist homosexual activist front group to co-sponsor the event? How can you be "optimistic" about that?
No, it was a conservative homosexual group that believes along the same lines as the rest of the conservatives. Now I can understand why you may be dismayed with that, but there are homosexual people that believe in the cause. I would have to ask why you are so against that? I can understand a religious difference, but really, those beliefs do NOT mean that you are suppose to castigate them. You really need to get a bit of tolerance. Bring them into the fold and change them if you believe so strongly...don’t castigate them.
