Jimmy LaSalvia’s GOProud (pronounced GO proud) is co-sponsoring the entire CPAC event, perhaps in the hopes of showing the right-wing conservative extremists that we’re just like they are. I suppose you have to give them credit for standing tall in the halls of bigotry and hatred.
I strongly disagree with LaSalvia on almost every issue outside of marriage and military service, which, I suppose, makes him and GOProud true Republicans, except, you know, for the gay part.
I was going to make this a separate post, and perhaps I will, but for now, I want to point out that LaSalvia and GOProud supported then-gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell, who won and recently removed gays from state anti-discrimination policy.
Good work, gentlemen…
