For his very ignorant remarks:

...at CPAC, the annual gathering of American conservatives (and at least this year, younger ones). He started out as condemning CPAC for allowing GOProud to sponsor the event, but went on to basically condemn homosexuality as unnatural. For more on the general story, CNN has an article on itOf course, there were ( Read more... )

I think douche bag is an unnecessarily complimentary term.

tko_ak February 20 2010, 19:27:44 UTC

Probably so, but as a gay male, anything related to vagina (er, well, other than women) is an apt insult.

That's unfortunate.

Well, yes, but I can't help but be terrified by them.

"The lesbians at Smith College protest better than you do!" Ok, that line I liked.

I think this is a better article than the CNN one. NOM was all smiles in front of the camera and then issued a press release from 20 feet away from the GOProud people.

Oh, and I think "douchebag" is one word.

I go to Smith College, and found that comment amazing =P.

What a piece of work this guy is! I think calling him a douche bag is an insult to douche bags everywhere.

I just don't understand how people can decide what is and is not natural since nature is such a deep and complex thing we can't go around sticking things with labels that are deemed automatic fact since they're obviously opinion. And, that dude sucks ass.

Secondly, I have found out that Ryan’s outburst was a publicity stunt. Ryan is hawking a new book called “The ‘Born Gay’ Myth”. That pretty much speaks for itself and the CPAC crowd rejected Ryan’s message and tactics resoundingly.

Alexander McCobin also sounds like a fairly stand-up guy. We'll see where he goes.
