Last week at CPAC, much to my delight, some little prick from California named Ryan Sorba got himself un-welcomed. I couldn’t be happier.
The back story. Last year, a number of Log Cabin Republicans split from the group and formed GOProud. Apparently, LCR was too liberal, too Washington establishment. Personally, I think gay Republicans are gluttons for punishment, but hey, that’s just me.
It seems that GOProud was invited to be a part of CPAC, and initially, many other participants threatened to back out. However, they didn’t, and all was going well until this douchebag Ryan Sorba took the podium and began trashing CPAC and going off on his silly rant about natural law. Look at his face. Go on. Look at that smug little kisser. Don’t you just want to punch him repeatedly? Now, I am not advocating that anyone do it, but oh does he have a punchable, arrogant puss.
What surprised me, though, is that CPAC booed him off the stage. I expected perhaps a tepid response, or nervous clapping, but no, they took him down, and it’s likely he won’t come back next year. It’s a faint glimmer of hope that perhaps some mainstream conservatives are getting over their tendency to reject anything LGBT. It’s not much, but it’s a start.
