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. 

Looks like Wanda Sykes has lined up a few good men (and woman) for her upcoming election specials! The "NewNowNext Vote with Wanda Sykes" is set to cover everything from same-sex marriage and Supreme Court appointments to the economy and healthcare, so who is going to give the gay weigh in? Follow below to see who will be joining a gorgeous newsman, legendary congressman and the funny lady herself.

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.  

While ogling hot go-go boys wearing skimpy, belly-baring GOProud-branded apparel, members of the homocon group danced away the first night of the Republican National Convention at Tampa's Honey Pot nightclub. But it was what GOProuders were willing to admit that was truly revealing. 

Gay republicans are ready to partaaay! (Yeah, that didn't feel right to us either.)

GOProud will hold its Homocon 2012 event on August 28 following the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida and GOProud's executive director Jimmy LaSalvia promises that  "Homocon 2012 will be the must have ticket for the RNC."

We bet everyone's tripping over themselves to get in.

More after the jump.

There has been plenty controversy and gay community in fighting this week following homo-con group GOProud's official endorsement of anti-gay Mitt Romney as president. Thankfully, Metro Weekly's Chris Geidner helps us sort out the madness and provides some insight into what went on behind-the-scenes of GOProud's tight vote.

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

Isn’t it always the same story? You meet a guy. He’s good looking, He’s worth billions of dollars. Then he starts talking politics.  It turns out that with $2.6 million in donations, openly gay billionaire Peter Thiel is the not-so-secret sugar daddy to the Ron Paul campaign. More on Ron Paul’s new piece of asset coming up.

Last week we brought you word that gay conservative group GOProud (of which Ann Coulter now serves as a chair) was once again banned from the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Today, GOProud has ended the silence on the stinging diss. So, what do leaders of the group Chris Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia have to say about the shun heard 'round the world?

GOProud head Jimmy LaSalvia, who himself was the victim of an alleged anti-gay hate crime attack this week in D.C., appeared on MSNBC to say that gays are more in need of guns to prevent hate crimes than federal protections from Washington.
