Gay Community To Ann Coulter: "Don't Speak For Us"

Last night, HomoCon held a fundraiser hosted by GOProud and Pay-Pal co-founder Peter Thiel.  Their keynote speaker was conservative pundit Ann Coulter.  What followed was some of the most offensive comments toward gays in recent memory.

Coulter started by telling the group of wealthy gay conservatives that she has "never failed to talk a gay out of gay marriage".  And then she did.  She told the crowd that she was opposed to gay marriage because it is strictly for procreation.  Here is a highlight of some of the more offensive things she said over the course of the evening:

"Marriage is not a civil right.  You're not black."

Liberals are trying to teach kinder gardeners "fisting", and that parents don't want their kids to learn about "homosexual lifestyle" in classrooms.

"As soon as they find the gay gene, you know who's being aborted."

"Blacks must be looking at gays saying, "Why can't we be oppressed like that."

The folks over at GOProud are defending Coulter, saying that although they disagree on gay marriage, they see eye to eye on a number of conservative issues.  What I personally don't understand is this:  How can your desire for government to be fiscally conservative override the fact that YOU'RE FUCKING GAY? Don't they realize that the Republican party hates them?  They are insisting on being part of a club that wants nothing to do with them, and they're willing to have their rights take a back seat to the club's agenda.  The Log Cabin Republicans have stood out as a gay Republican organization that tends to make social issues just as important as fiscal issues.  GOProud and Gay Patriot have had a history, especially recently, of taking steps to put the gay community back in the closet.  Saturday night was no exception.
