Former Gay Pride Parade queen regresses, joins anti-gay groups
Mexican actress Karyme Lozano was crowned Queen of the San Francisco LGBT Pride Parade in 2008. So I was shocked to hear that she has joined the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles in a new initiative benefiting radically conservative Carly Fiorina, who is running for pro-LGBT Senator Barbara Boxer’s U.S. Senate seat. At a press conference this week hosted at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, the Washington-DC-based conservative Latino group announced the $1 million-dollar “Tus valores” (“Your Values”) campaign to bring their toxic agenda to California by helping elect anti-equality candidates like Fiorina.

While it is troubling to see Karyme Lozano blatantly disregard the LGBT community’s warm embrace, it is even more disturbing to see her align herself with a group that disingenuously propagates the Latino values of familia y tradición as rigid conservative convictions. Furthermore, to add insult to injury, it seems that Lozano, who serves on the advisory board of the misguided Latino conservative group alongside with fellow actor Eduardo Verastegui, who in 2008 campaigned against marriage equality, has taken bold steps to joining the hate mongering anti-marriage groups.

Wow. This just sucks. Apparently she was gullible enough to believe the unscientific Kool-Aid that the anti-gay industry has been pouring down the sheep's throats.

1. This is what we need to be careful of in the immigration debate
That is, allowing people with wacko views to become US citizens (and hence, voters).

2. I at first didn't like your post until I thought: oh hey Michael Savage is banned from the UK
so why not ban Lozano and any like-minded Mexican anti-gay religious conservative kooks from America? I mean we have enough dumbbells (Scott Lively, Peter LaBarbera, Maggie Gallagher, etc.) in America, so we can't take any more crankery. :rofl:

3. that's the single biggest peeve I have with immigration
If you left your fucked up ass backward corrupt shit hole of a country to come to America, and then you just try to recreate all the shit that kept you backwards and corrupt and poor here in America, you shouldn't have bothered coming. There are plenty of people who immigrate and embrace diversity and civil freedom because it's the right thing to do, who deserve to be here more.

Actually that applies to every redneck fat white fuck in Arizona too.
