Author and MSNBC host S.E. Cupp made news in the run-up to CPAC 2013 by withdrawing as a speaker from the annual conservative confab. Her complaint against CPAC is that it would not allow pro-homosexual "marriage" organizations to sponsor the event.
Cupp identifies herself as a "proponent of gay rights," and on MSBNC she said "marriage equality" is a "major issue Republicans can no longer seem to avoid."
"CPAC's decision to sideline GOProud and Log Cabin Republicans makes me increasingly uncomfortable,"she said."Until the conference stops shaming some of its most valuable advocates, it's unfortunately not an event I can take part in."

Masha Gessen, a lesbian and a journalist, spoke frankly about this at a conference in Sydney, Australia, last summer. "It's a no-brainer that we should have the right to marry," she said. "But I also think equally that it's a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist."
This admission "causes my brain some trouble," Gessen says, "and part of why it causes me trouble is that fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there -- because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change, and that is a lie."
How will it change? Gessen explains: "I have three kids who have five parents, more or less. . . . I would like to live in a legal system that is capable of reflecting that reality. And I don't think that's compatible with the institution of marriage."
"Marriage equality" becomes "marriage elasticity," with the ultimate goal of "marriage extinction."...

Mormons...nice people....
I wanna watch....
so true.
Rand I bet sees his chance where his father failed, he wants republicans and conservatives to change their views to suit his.
Like you said Ron at least said what he wanted and to hell wiht it but it seems the way his son is going is do that stunt, get the media and now has some fooled while getting those non republicans all happy for his run.
I like S.E.’s cups, but not much else anymore sadly.
I don’t recall a single person lamenting the absence of S.E. Cupp at CPAC.
Wasn’t picking on you. Merely expanding a thought.
My curiousity these days wonders what and who defines “A thing, An act or certain unions”.
I’m stuck on this but, think I and my density are better prepared to define our relationship, as well, the terms of its dissolution, should that event become inevetable....
My thing and others mileage will vary....
Word!
And a most excellenf frame.
Still, like to see her neekid, at ths minimum....
Sorry....got a thing for weemans...
Luv em...
I guess everything looks like a "no-brainer" when you have no brain.
Seriously, that's one of those conversation or argument stoppers that should probably be avoided even if it weren't stale and flat by now.
And I have to wonder about Masha's logic. If it's obvious that marriage should not exist, how is it also obvious that she should be allowed to participate in the institution?
And vice versa (or mutatis mutandis, ceterus paribus, or whatever), if it's so intuitively obvious that she and her partner should have the right to marry, doesn't that imply that the institution she wants into should continue to exist?
The banner of "marriage equality" is frayed and torn asunder, with bits blowing in the wind, strips jagged and littering streets. Marriage, however, lives and breathes. As do those who salute her.
Ick! That's the kind of "beautiful writing" commentators should avoid. Also, it's the kind of fake, flip, smug, dismissive conclusion they should forgo. And it doesn't fit the rest of the article, which certainly gives conservatives or Christians plenty of reason to worry about the future of marriage.
Yes, there have been many examples. The one at Cisco stands out in my mind. There was a guy who was fired for being against gay marriage. His boss found on the internet he had written a book stating that. (was not high profile) The boss said that he was an excellent employee, great at his job, and he had never mentioned same-sex marriage, or anything controversial on the job. He personally liked the guy. But the fired him because he was personally against gay marriage.
Cupp is a pig, whoring herself out to the scum at MSNBC for some paychecks.
She’s dead to me.
Ya gotta define ‘SIN’ and ‘LIVING’ first.
MORMONism: hellish theology...
And
then
there
is
the
other
end...
The math suggests that the women in question obtained “seed” from three different donors to conceive her three children. The other two parents are the speaker and her “partner.”
I should have added a sarcasm tag.
Funny the Republican party can afford to ignore traditional Americans.
It’s almost like the plan is to split the different conservative issues so that people have to chose; abortion vs. gay marriage, national defense vs. abortion etc. Anything to throw us into confusion. I think many of these people including the old standby John McCain have been playing these games for a long time. If they don’t get ALL OF IT, then they are not worthy of office.
Donate money only for those PACS that take a Christian moral position. No money for the Republican party. They are toast.
Libertarians used to be a third party so why did they worm their way into the Republican party.
Wow, I never thought about that, the very powerful lawyers lobby that makes big contribution to the Democrats are probably backing this up for their own interests.
