GOProud Board President Sticks By Herman Cain After ‘Homosexuality Is A Sin’ Comment

Surprisingly competitive 2012 Republican candidate Herman Cain has mostly made a name for himself by promising a healthy economy and and a strong pro-Israel foreign policy, but today he is making headlines for his admission that he believes homosexuality is a “sin” and a “choice.” This belief may put him at odds with some of his loudest supporters on the right– namely, the members of GOProud, the controversial gay conservative group. But GOProud board chairman Chris Barron is standing by Cain in a statement released earlier today.

p.s. Don't ever let 'any' of the Republicans fool ya - they are against women's rights, LGBT rights, the poor and the middle class, etc. - Bottom line, in my opinion, Republicans are against all the things that make America good and as far as I'm concerned none of them are true patriots or true Christians.

1. Are the people in that group really gay?
Or just claiming they are?

2. Kind of makes you wonder, don't it?
Of course, just about any identifiable demographic that's pro-Republican makes me wonder...."Teachers for GOP", "Republican Muslims", "Labor Conservatives", etc. I'll bet most are either liars or just plain stoopit. When you add up all of the GOP platforms aimed against various components of our society...you realize that the only demographic getting their love and attention are the ones in the upper 3% of the tax bracket.

3. It is my theory that they're actually straight people pretending to be gay. n/t
