GOProud Expresses Disappointment With CPAC Decision
Statement from the GOProud Board of Directors
(Washington, D.C.) – Today, the Board of Directors of GOProud, the only national organization representing gay conservatives and their allies, issued the following statement:
“We are deeply disappointed at the decision of the American Conservative Union to bar GOProud from participating in CPAC. They are well within their right to do so, but a decision like this will have consequences.
“For the last two years, GOProud has sought to support CPAC and keep the conservative movement united. Unfortunately, elements inside and outside of ACU have pushed their own narrow, divisive and sometimes personal agenda. They have done so at the expense of the conservative movement.
“What is truly sad is that this troubling development takes place at a time when we should be united and focused on defeating Barack Obama.
“GOProud has been and will continue to be an outspoken proponent of conservative values and conservative policy. This organization will continue to work to bring conservatives of all stripes together to save this country and defeat the left. Obviously, that work will no longer be done at CPAC, but it will be done.”
I am not shocked but very disappointed at CPAC actions today.
