GOProud’s Chris Barron Compares GLAAD to Terrorists

Andy Towle November 11, 2011

Chris Barron, Chairman of the Board of gay conservative group GOProud, scolds Brett Ratner in a piece today at Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller for cowing to the "gay Gestapo" who brought attention to Ratner's "rehearsal's for fags" remark, and the group he says is "its leading mouthpiece", GLAAD:

BarronI am incredibly disappointed that Ratner gave into the bullying of GLAAD. Ratner should never have penned the ridiculously over-the-top apology letter that he did (or should I say sign the ridiculous letter that was clearly written by GLAAD's PC communications department).

Instead of agreeing to be sent to GLAAD's re-education camp, Ratner should have stood up to the gay Gestapo. He apologized for what he said, he admitted it was stupid, and agreeing to become the latest pawn in GLAAD's never-ending ideological warfare is akin to negotiating with terrorists. Every time Ratner or another Hollywood idiot gives into GLAAD, they are simply encouraging GLAAD to continue its partisan jihad.

Before GLAAD or anyone else on the gay left get to hold others accountable, they should be forced to hold themselves accountable. GLAAD should be forced to live by the standard it expects the rest of the world to live by.

Barron's vitriol appears to be inspired by an ongoing feud with blogger Joe Jervis and at least partly for questioning (as others, including this blog, did), the legitimacy of an alleged attack on A-List Dallas cast member and GOProud member Taylor Garrett.

Seethes Barron:

On two separate occasions, Jervis has openly ridiculed incidents of violent anti-gay hate crimes against gay conservatives. Apparently, words and images don't matter to GLAAD's members as long as the subject of those attacks is someone they disagree with politically.

Radio host and activist Michelangelo Signorile has already called out Barron plenty on the hypocrisy of his own bullying claims:

Barron and GOProud now also support House speaker John Boehner defending section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act in federal appeals court after President Obama announced he believed the law is unconstitutional — though Barron himself is legally married to a man in Washington, D.C. Barron's husband, to whom he refers a lot in his tweets, is a D.C. teacher who wrote a piece in MetroWeekly about how kids learn to be bullies from adults who bully one another. But there couldn't possibly be a better example of an adult bullying other adults than Barron tweeting this: “The gay left = the American Taliban. Hateful, angry and dumb as sh*t.” He's also tweeted that Andrew Sullivan is “fat,” “pathetic,” and “self-important” and that Meghan McCain is “intensely stupid.”
