CPAC Still Dedicated To ‘Traditional Marriage’

February 10, 2011 by Andrew Belonsky

Chris Barron, chairman of GOProud's board, has been downplaying the protests surrounding his group, and recently remarked, "The truth is that it's five boycotters and 10,000 people who are attending the conference, so we're celebrating the 10,000 people and not the five who are boycotting."

He continued, "It would be a little like us announcing we were boycotting the DNC, even though we never participating in it. Most of the organizations speaking out weren't CPAC sponsors last year, so who the hell cares if they're boycotting, quite frankly?"

Barron may be more right than he knows, because these protests appear to be nothing than public posturing, while in private conservatives are still dedicated to erecting policies of exclusion.
