Ann Coulter: The New "Gay Icon"

GOProud, the conservative gay rights group founded by two former Log Cabin Republicans who thought the group wasn't extreme enough, brought us Homocon (Homosexual Convention) in 2010 and have now in 2011 announced their newest chair of the board: Ann Coulter.

It seems like another classic example which proves the point of G.K. Chesterton, who said in 1924 that, “The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.”

For Catholics who think that conservatives are always on their side, please think again.

The anouncment from GOProud reads:

Coulter’s official title will be “Honorary Chair and Gay Icon.” “Ann Coulter is a brilliant and fearless leader of the conservative movement, we are honored to have her as part of GOProud’s leadership,” said Christopher Barron, Chairman of GOProud’s Board. “Ann helped put our organization on the map. Politics is full of the meek, the compromising and the apologists – Ann, like GOProud, is the exact opposite of all of those things. We need more Ann Coulters.

For her part, Coulter has said, "I am honored to serve in this capacity on GOProud’s Advisory Council, and look forward to being the Queen of fabulous."
