Unhappy that Brett Ratner was profusely apologetic for using the same homophobic slur countless individuals hear as they're being attacked for being gay, GOProud's lead piece Chris Barron went on an editorial rant against GLAAD's effect on Ratner in a Friday post at The Daily Caller. So, which criticisms do the supposedly pro-gay activist loft GLAAD's way?

GOProud: The party of rejection. Once again the black sheep of the LGBT family does something that could undermine our cause: they beg for inclusion into the wrong circles. Don't they know inclusion is a progressive, not conservative quality? American Conservative Union didn't want you representing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last year and they don't want you to this year. Are you still proud? Details after the jump.

It might have garnered CPAC an extra serving of headlines this year, but GOProud will reportedly not get any loving from the annual conservative convention in 2012.

Outlets (including the vehemently homophobic World Net Daily) are reporting that members participating at a CPAC Board Meeting on Monday voted to ban GOProud from the convention next year. Though the handful of boycotts this year from NOM and SPLC-certified hate groups like the Family Research Council likely played a role in today's alleged decision, reports that GOProud Chris Barron trolled the convention floor calling fellow conservatives "bigots" will likely come-out as the key reason organizers are banning the group.
