Ten years ago, it wouldn't have been so easy for many of these influential conservatives to ally themselves with gay Republicans. The GOP back then was winning on social issues and thought consolidating its social conservative base was the ticket to a sustained majority." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/27/the-gops-quiet-evolution-on-gay-rights/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/19/breitbart-to-join-goprouds-advisory-council/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/19/breitbart-to-join-goprouds-advisory-council/#comments Wed, 19 Jan 2011 23:09:23 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=92413 Big Government: "Today, GOProud, the only national organization of gay conservatives and their allies, announced that conservative media mogul Andrew Breitbart will join the organization’s Advisory Council.

Sounds like a Hollywood version of a conspiracy thriller, but it's not. It's the buzz around this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, the nation's single largest annual congregation of conservative leaders." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/19/cpac-beset-by-accusations-of-pro-gay-takeover-muslim-agenda/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/07/cpac-chair-david-keene-responds-to-social-conservatives/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/07/cpac-chair-david-keene-responds-to-social-conservatives/#comments Fri, 07 Jan 2011 22:49:35 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=90490 Politics Daily: "Part of the problem, says Keene, is that 'everyone thinks their issue is more important than everyone else's [issue].' Keene says there are some issues conservatives have come to a consensus on: 'I think opposition to gay marriage is a consensus issue, now.

We're simply not participating. FRC has chosen not to partner with a 'conservative' event that places the protection of marriage on the same plane as redefining it . . . We recognize that some organizations represented at CPAC are silent on the issue of homosexuality. But organizations whose whole reason for existence is to promote the forced public affirmation of homosexual conduct should not be welcomed at CPAC, because that is not-by any stretch of the imagination-a 'conservative' agenda. By allying itself with liberal social organizations, ACU is abandoning at least a third of the conservative movement." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/07/frc-sticking-up-for-the-c-in-cpac/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/05/afa-to-cpac-homosexuality-is-not-a-conservative-value/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/01/05/afa-to-cpac-homosexuality-is-not-a-conservative-value/#comments Wed, 05 Jan 2011 22:27:11 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=90045 writing at Renew America: "However, AFA made a deliberate choice not to participate last year because of CPAC's decision to allow an aggressive and radical homosexual organization, GOProud, to serve as a sponsor of the event.

The event, complete with lithe young men in black 'Freedom is Fabulous' t-shirts guiding guests to the elevator, marked a new high tide in the shift of the Republican Party away from 'social issues' and toward a broader complaint about Democratic management of the economy, national security, and the idea of America." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/09/28/theyre-gay-conservative-and-proud/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/02/26/christianity-todays-political-advocacy-tracker/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/02/26/christianity-todays-political-advocacy-tracker/#comments Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:46:42 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/wordpress/?p=53581 Today's edition includes some commentary on GOProud at CPAC: "CPAC was cosponsored by many social conservative organizations such as Alliance Defense Fund, American Center for Law and Justice, Americans United for Life, Concerned Women for America, Focus on the Family Action, and Prison Fellowship. This year, CPAC was also sponsored by GOProud, a group that 'represents gay conservatives and their allies.' Also at the conference were libertarian groups that support same-sex marriage and a repeal of the military's ban on homosexuality." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/02/26/christianity-todays-political-advocacy-tracker/feed/ 0
