Celebrity conservative Ann Coulter has
joined the advisory council of gay GOP GOProud and been given the title
“gay icon.”
“I am honored to serve in this
capacity on GOProud's Advisory Council,” Coulter said in a
statement announcing her ascendancy, “and look forward to being the
Queen of Fabulous.”
“Ann Coulter is a brilliant and
fearless leader of the conservative movement, we are honored to have
her as part of GOProud's leadership,” said Christopher Barron,
chairman of GOProud's board. “Ann helped put our organization on
the map. Politics is full of the meek, the compromising and
apologist – Ann, like GOProud, is the exact opposite of all those
things. We need more Ann Coulters.”
Barron was referring to Coulter's
headlining of the group's gay GOP festival Homocon 2010, at
which Coulter told the group that they had no right to marriage
because they are “not Black.”
Also advising the group are Margaret
Hoover, Grover Norquist, Andrew Breitbart, Liz Mair, Chuck Muth, Lisa
De Paquale, Christian Josi, Roger Stone, Andrew Langer, Kathryn
Serkes and Bob Carlstrom.
