Ann Coulter doesn't mince words. And even when speaking to a gay conservative organization, GOProud, at their inaugural Homocon party on Saturday night, she apparently wasn't willing to start.

After a series of jokes about conservative that sounded -- and were received -- more like a stand-up act then a political speech, Coulter told the assembled (and predominantly wealthy) conservative gay crowd why they should oppose same sex marriage, adding, "I should warn you: I've never failed to talk gays out of gay marriage." And then she did.

First, she ran down the stereotypical stand-up comedian's list of reasons, including that lacking the legal right to marriage allows the less-committed partner to weasel out of it. But in a more serious note, she parroted the losing arguments of the lawyers supporting California's Prop 8 and told the crowd that the reason she opposes (and they should oppose) same sex marriage is that it is strictly for procreation.

In one of a series of racially insensitive remarks that pervaded her speech, Coulter added, "Marriage is not a civil right. You're not black." It was part of a larger argument on which she later elaborated, telling the crowd that the 14th Amendment only applies to African-Americans and that it does not, in fact, apply to women, LGBT people or other minorities.

What a hateful person.



And who are these gay conservatives willing to pay her to hate on them?

Nonetheless, I hope you find a singer.

:shrug:

The courts interpret the Constitution.

I'm childfree and got a vasectomy 6 years ago... Now I know what it's like to be gay!!! Just kidding.

TlalocW

A couple married but has no kids is often looked upon as illegal as a gay couple or a couple living together. Breed is the answer. If you aren't breeding then you are sinning. Sad they have not looked at this over populated world with it's shortage of food,housing,jobs.States and countries with little money,straining natural resources to the breaking point yet some of these religious rigid to the cloth task masters insist on the big B. Which is why they frown on birth control of all kinds,gay partners,single adults who have little intention on ever starting a family and those who have been "fixed" for social or health reasons.

You know of whom I speak.

That was mean on my part.

how can anyone say the same shit over and over and get paid.

or the reasons she gives for it?

Thanks for asking.

All joking aside, I think she's hateful because that's what has made her a millionaire. She cares only about the money. And why not? Her light is dimming. More attention is being paid to Sister Sarah and the O'Donnell chick. They are taking the spotlight from <m>Ann.

severely deficient education??

since a license must be obtained.

The SCOTUS has long held that the right to marry is constitutionally protected and a fundamental right. Requiring a license doesn't matter much.

But they will. I firmly am against the licensing of marrage. And that should be the focus of this war.

they'd make SOME kind of sense.

If the 14th amendment applied to black people only, it would be--wait for it!--UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

:crazy:
rocktivity

and when the Log Cabins grew a spine, the GOP had some folks start GOProud.

That assumes she believes a word that's written for her.

minutes of fame, but stating stupider and stupider things to her ever-decreasing audiences. Think back to a year of two ago when you couldn't turn on Fux without seeing her Adam's apple jumping up and down as she castigated some evil doer or another. Now, it's more "Ann who???". She's going to do more and more outrageous things in a last ditch effort to remain 'relevant' (at least to the crowd of mouth-breathers that listen to her) but time's against her. Good luck, Annie. I think you're going to need it.

It's all about stirring up hate.

Homosexual is not, in all legallity, a class

was declared in Loving:


"Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival...."


Accordingly, the government needs a very, very, very good reason to deny gay people this basic civil right to marry.

For which it is.

To his eternal disgrace,

Obama and Coulter are in agreement that marriage is not a civil right.

I hope she charged them top dollar, scumbags all

So either make those advantages available to any two people that mutually agree to aquire them, or remove the special legal protections and advantages from everybody.

then people have the right to be persons for respect of their marriages.

Dumb with deep pockets. They deserve to be fleeced by this charlatan.

:rofl:

and is just out to piss off everyone she possibly can.

She's like a real-life Internet troll.
