Ann Coulter To Headline Gay GOP Fest 'Homocon 2010'

Republican talking head Ann Coulter will headline Homocon 2010, the first annual convention of gay conservatives.

The convention is sponsored by gay GOP group GOProud and takes place Saturday, September 25 in New York City.

“We wanted to have a fun party, and we couldn't think of anyone more fun than Ann,” Jimmy LaSalvia, president of GOProud, told NBC New York.

LaSalvia added that they asked Coulter to headline the $250 ticket event because she's “hilarious and provocative.”

Coulter has previously been chided by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) for using gay epithets to slur prominent Democrats, including 2008 presidential candidate John Edwards.

“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,'” she said while taking questions at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

LaSalvia said that his group doesn't agree with everything Coulter has said, but added, “I think that by virtue of her doing this event it speaks to what she thinks about gay people.”

Coulter is a syndicated columnist and author of numerous anti-liberal books, including How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter.
