A big shakeup at homocon group GOProud has been announced today: co-founders Jimmy LaSalvia and Chris Barron are stepping down as heads of the organization. 

Details follow.

After endorsing a presidential ticket (and dozens of other candidates) that promised a constitutional amendment banning marriage equality, "LGBT" group GOProud has suddenly undergone major heart surgery to finally support the civil rights issue.

My, what could've happened to spark such an about face?

Oh yea, that whole election landslide thing. 

Buzzfeed spoke with gay Republicans during "Homocon" at the Republican National Convention.

The question posed: how can someone be gay and Republican?

GOProud head Jimmy LaSalvia explained away yesterday's RNC PR disaster by saying that gays are shallow and care more about dating rich men than their own civil rights. Or something.  

Homo-conservative group GOProud has surprised no one with today's announcement that it has endorsed anti-LGBT Mitt Romney for president. 

Carl DeMaio, a conservative Republican, made history on Tuesday when he won the San Diego primary to become the city's first openly gay mayoral finalist. But not all of the city's LGBT community are celebrating the landmark development.

If you were curious for a deeper explanation of frigid Ann Coulter's anti-equality talking points that GOProud spent lots of homo-dollars to hear over the weekend, you're in tuck (apologies for the cheap Coulter pun); the ice queen herself appeared on Larry King Live last night to regurgitate her same insensitive "you're not black and therefore don't deserve civil rights" mantra.

Hopefully you're not allergic as this windbag brings the full amount of nuttery to the interview...

As expected, the "Judy Garland of the conservative base," Ann Coulter, displayed nothing short of offensive anti-gay rhetoric at GOProud's Homocon event over the weekend. What hundreds of wealthy GLBT paid GOProud (and therefore paid Coulter) to hear? That "gay marriage" is wrong, that gay babies should be aborted and that parents don't want their children learning about the GLBT community in school. Where else could the $150,000 speaking fee GOProud paid Coulter have gone?

One of the country's most popular wingnut conservative publications, WorldNetDaily, has canceled an appearance by Ann Coulter at an upcoming event due to her participation with the gays. In a brief exchange about her appearance at GOProud's Homocon event (a group that has dubbed her the "Judy Garland of the Conservative Movement") Coulter explains that she does not endorse or agree with our lifestyle, but will speak anyways. Seems like a great way to spend a few hundred thousand dollars, GOProud.

But back to the update of the story...
