GOProud is a gay rights group that consists of conservative homosexuals. They consider themselves conservatives who believe in limited government, individual liberty, free markets, national defense and a strong foreign policy. Per their website "We believe that every individual should be equal under the law." This stance would include the right to gay marriage. Some people believe the group has more in common with conservatism than the libertarian wing. Big government RINOs who believe in the expansion of government into people's personal lives believe that conservatism is defined by social issues; God, heterosexual marriage, etc. As such, GOProud divides the conservative movement which is now evident in the annual CPAC convention and the refusal of social conservative groups to attend an event that promotes homosexuality from GOProud. The co-founders of GOProud are Jimmy LaSalvia and Christopher Barron, a political director for Planned Parenthood.[1] In a rejection of the homosexual agenda, the CPAC board of directors voted to exclude GOProud from future CPAC conferences.[2] They prove their conservatism as they are generally pro-life, support the Second Amendment, and support low taxes and less regulatory burdens on businesses. They are a group that holds true to the Republican Party's claims of supporting individual liberty. The group was founded by former Log Cabin Republicans members who felt that Log Cabin was too centrist, so they wished to found a more conservative homosexual group.
