Gay conservatives target Democrats in ad campaign
   
Source: CNN

A political group of gay conservatives will begin airing ads against a handful of Democratic candidates on Monday, including a spot against openly gay congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts.

In a statement, GOProud declares that this is "the first time ever a national gay organization is airing a television advertising campaign going after Democrats."

"Barney Frank is an absolute embarrassment," said Christopher R. Barron, Chairman of GOProud's Board of Directors. "He represents the worst kind of Washington politician."

In addition to Frank, the $50,000 purchase of airtime by GOProud will pay for ads against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), two progressives who pride themselves as champions of gay rights.

The group will also run commercials in support of Rep. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii), a freshman who was one of five House Republicans who voted to repeal "don't ask, don't tell."

All of the ads will air on the Lifetime and Bravo channels, whose demographics have a large share of women and members of the LGTB (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community.

The folks at GOProud have to be ****ing crazy. How can you align yourself with a party that does not recognize your rights as a same sex couple? Talk about identifying with the people that jail you....

Cowards all.

2. I can understand some gay people being disappointed with the Democrats,
   
Edited on Mon Oct-25-10 01:56 PM by ZombieHorde
but I have a hard time understanding why some gay people would align themselves with Republicans. Do they hate taxes more than they like their rights? I suppose diversity is the spice of life.

So the bisexuals are OK then?

7. If you have enough money and power, it doesn't matter.

Is he saying the RW tolerates GOProud because they have money and power even though the RW supposedly denies gays money and power?

14. Sell Outs
   
This group of people are called sell-outs! There are always people in a particular suppressed group who will carve out benefits for themselves while they sell out the rest of the group. This is disgusting. Especially since the Repubs have gone on record time and time again that homosexuality is a choice and that it can be cured. Consequently, the Repubs have done nothing to to help Congress change laws.
be the change you want to see

Interesting question that crosses party lines.

22. OTOH, which party is likelier to ship gays off to reeducation camps
   
in the not-so-distant future?

Yeah, it sounds over the top, but did anybody in 1926 Germany think it was possible that good Germans would be shipped off en masse to concentration camps within a decade?

Do you really think there are not those in the Republican party who like to see such a solution?

Have you seen Joanne98's video thread?

10. I'm absolutely sure a RW theocratical American will serve the interests of
   
the gay conservatives extremely well. These people are ****en immature fools that think defeating democrats like Frank will help their cause.

12. To the OP: The Democratic Party also does not recognize our
   
rights as couples. Kaine, Obama, Biden, all of them are openly opposed to marriage equality. So that argument is a loser. They state, just like Palin, that their religion demands that they oppose equality for all. That is just the fact of the matter.
Voting for Republicans is a daft way to deal with it, but that does not mean the DNC recognizes or supports equality. The GOP being worse does not mean the DNC is correct, or that they hold a righteous position that is opposite to the GOP. The Democratic Party has to gain that standing themselves, being slightly better than Michelle Bachmann is not winning argument that can sustain for long. Deal with it.

Ow

16. How? Money.
   
I would imagine that these people are very very wealthy or at least connected with people in power. As we know, when you're wealthy and powerful, laws don't mean shit. Why should they care about these things when it wouldn't have any effect on their lives either way?

17. This just goes to show the diversity in the gay community.
   
There are some wealthy gays who put their own pocketbook ahead of issues that are important to their own community. Just like there are black conservatives, there are gay conservatives too.

18. Gay Republicans: greedy trust fund brats and corporate shills who happen to be gay
   
Edited on Mon Oct-25-10 05:22 PM by brentspeak
They make a big deal about being gay, but have always supported the GOP no matter how much the Republican party has stomped over their civil liberties.

19. And Barney Frank will still be reelected by a huge margin
   
so these whiny ****knuckles can shut the hell up right now.

73rd Congress: 59 D, 36 R (Senate), 313 D, 117 R (House)
74th Congress: 69 D, 25 R (Senate), 322 D, 103 R (House)

Frank isn't over 50% this late in the game.

BTW -dig his sig in italics.

25. In some manner, has to be related to the battered spouses seen on Cops.
   
Faces bloodied, they start to attack the officers as they try to arrest their abuser. Usually while screaming "but I LOVE him!!!"

Would you like to change that word? You know, to something like whipped, flogged.....ah hell, they all have a sexual connotation that the perverts might enjoy.

Does "spank" work for you?

I guess it never occurs to them that to some homosexuals being gay isn`t their identity or claim for entitlement so they make their political decisions based on other more pressing issues.
Jobs,security,economic opportunity...you know,crazy things like that.

So Queer is the latest, newest race, huh. Have they moved the muslims into second place?

[TheSarge]

Do they hate taxes more than they like their rights?

What Constitutional rights are being denied.  Seriously!

This whole notion that there are constitutional rights being denied to homosexuals is about as asinine an argument as I hear on a regular basis from the DUmp.

[IassaFTots]

Ya know, in my little circle of friends and family, I have probably oh, 9-12 gay friends and family members.  Male and female.  Out of those, I only know 2 progressives, or 16%.  Of say, 40 heterosexual friends and family members I know 10 progressives, or 25%.  

And, of the top 5 politically active and aware conservatives, 2 of them are gay.  

Wierd, huh?  

[Ralph Wiggum]

All of the ads will air on the Lifetime and Bravo channels, whose demographics have a large share of women and members of the LGTB (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community.

What about the "Questioning" and "Intersex" communities?

[Karin]

Unlike them, some gays such as BlueNorthwest over there, don't think "I'm gay, I'm gay I'm gay" 24 hours a day.  There are other things in life.  Such as business.  I was once acquainted with a gay gentleman.  A real flamer.  Rich sonofabitch, too.  The way he built his fortune would make the DUmmies heads explode:  Collections on medical debt.  Make him a Muslim, and make the fun complete!
