Top U.S. conservative conference bans pro-family Christian group and approves homosexualist group
The Conservative Political Action
Conference (CPAC), the
oldest and largest annual “conservative” conference in America, has abruptly
banned pro-family group MassResistance as an exhibitor at its national meeting for
Feb. 21-24 while permitting the homosexualist group Log Cabin Republicans to
remain. Log Cabin Republicans is a wing of homosexual militants in the
Republican Party. See Log Cabin Republicans in homosexual

With
MassResistance banned from the exhibitor’s hall roster, no exclusively
pro-family, pro-marriage groups will be present at CPAC.
“For
the past three years — including this year — the radical homosexual group Log
Cabin Republicans (LCR) has been a sponsor and
exhibitor at CPAC,” explained Brian Camenker, founder and president of
MassResistance. “Prior to that, another homosexual group called GOProud was an
official exhibitor in 2009 and 2010.”
It’s
not only the presence of pro-homosexuality and transgender groups at CPAC that
worries the MassResistance founder.
“In
2016 and 2017 the group Atheist Voter
had a table at CPAC,” said Camenker. “In 2015, its parent organization, American
Atheists, was granted a main stage speech. The
group pushes for God-less government policies, removal of ‘Christian ideology’
from all government, repeal of religious exemptions from onerous LGBT laws, and
more reporting requirements on churches. They also support the LGBT agenda,
abortion ‘rights,’ and are ‘fighting abstinence-only until marriage sex
education.’”
“It
is unconscionable that a self-styled conservative organization like CPAC would
ban a sponsorship table for a leading pro-family group like MassResistance — while
allowing the homosexual activist Log Cabin Republicans to sponsor a table at
the same conference,” said Peter LaBarbera, founder and president of Americans
For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH). Interestingly, the precursor of AFTAH
was launched at a CPAC gathering 25 years ago.
“This
is upside-down,” continued LaBarbera. “It is Log Cabin Republicans, which
crusades for homosexual ‘marriage,’ that is undermining conservatism. I call on
CPAC and its CEO Matt Schlapp to reverse this awful decision.”
LaBarbera
said veteran social conservative Camenker is a “brave, pro-family hero.”
“Brian
has been fighting the radical gay and transgender agenda for decades, and has
never wavered. He certainly deserves better than to have his good name sullied
and his group expelled by CPAC.”
“CPAC
needs to stop pandering to LGBTQ advocates and make this right. Banning
pro-moral voices is a tactic of the Left, not the Right,” he added.
“It
is simply unconscionable for a ‘conservative’ organization to welcome in
homosexual activists while banishing the leading national grassroots
organization fighting the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer) lobby. That is
why I have called on the American Conservative Union, which runs CPAC, to
reverse its decision and allow MassResistance to have a booth. AFTAH’s
predecessor, the newsletter Lambda Report, was launched at CPAC 25 years ago,
so this latest politically correct absurdity really hurts personally. As we
predicted, out-and-proud homosexuality is now corrupting conservatism and
Christianity; it is incompatible with both.”
When
the ban of MassResistance became a scandal after it was denounced by LaBarbera,
LifeSiteNews and other pro-life websites, CPAC invited the Family Research
Council (FRC) to have a booth, as a last-minute strategy to cover up its scandalous
ban against MassResistance. This strategy hardly helps CPAC, because if FRC
will be present as a conservative group against the homosexual agenda, why is
there no room for many other excellent conservative groups fighting the
homosexual agenda? This is a bigger scandal, because it is inconceivable that
the “biggest conservative conference” in America has not invited all the major
conservative groups in America. In fact, after hearing of the action against MassResistance,
Peter LaBarbera applied and paid for an Exhibitors Booth at CPAC. He had to pay
2,000 dollars. If there is a Christian conservative leader who deserves to be a
speaker and much more in CPAC is LaBarbera. Yet, he has received no answer from
CPAC after several days.
The annual CPAC event in Washington,
DC has been a very big deal for conservatives since its inception, attracting
thousands of conservative-minded people from across the country each year. It’s
where Republican candidates and other major conservative political figures come
to speak and be seen – everyone, from Presidents Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump;
Conservative Senators like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio; and media icons such as
Sean Hannity and Mark Levin.
Many of the conference speakers, such
as former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson (speaking this year), are pro-LGBT
Libertarians. Marijuana
legalization groups were CPAC
exhibitors in 2015.
Sponsored
by the American Conservative Union (ACU), the annual conference has been an
important presence in Washington since 1973. According to its website,
ACU has served for more than fifty years “as an umbrella organization
harnessing the collective strength of conservative organizations fighting for
Americans who are concerned with liberty, personal responsibility, traditional
values, and strong national defense.”
CPAC and its parent group ACU state
that they are “America’s premier conservative voice” and that “ACU defines
conservatism.”
Yet, focusing on traditional marriage
— the bedrock of social conservative values — seems to have less of a presence
in the CPAC agenda, while LGBT ideology is finding a foothold among its “conservatives.”
Missing
also is the presence of notable pro-family leaders as Franklin
Graham, James Dobson, Scott Lively, Joseph Farah, William J. Murray and
many others.
“Similar
to the direction of the GOP establishment, in recent years CPAC has become more
libertarian-oriented and pro-LGBT — and hardly any pro-family groups have had
exhibits or been sponsors,” said MassResistance’s Camenker.
“Is
this really what conservatism in America has become?” wonders Camenker. “What
group gets to claim it defines conservatism? Is MassResistance the only
pro-family group that’s publicly standing up to the powerful
sexual-radical movement?”
Many
conservatives had criticized CPAC for choosing Yiannopoulos as its keynote
speaker because they did not see him as a traditional conservative. Instead,
Yiannopoulos was seen as the figurehead of the alt-Right movement, a movement
that prides itself in nationalism, which many accuse of racism and
anti-Semitism.
Yet,
the pro-pedophilia videos abruptly destroyed his keynote opportunity.
“Due
to the revelation of an offensive video in the past 24 hours condoning
pedophilia, the American Conservative Union has decided to rescind the
invitation of Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at the Conservative Political Action
Conference,” ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp said in a statement.
Nevertheless,
CPAC has invited the homosexualist group Log Cabin Republicans. This signals a
dangerous trend among U.S. conservatives. Even U.S. President Donald Trump, who
is praised among conservatives for his pro-life policies, has praised Log Cabin Republicans.
In fact, he chose to maintain in his
administration LGBTQ activist Chai Feldblum
in a major federal post. Trump’s decision was blasted by American rabbis.
Feldblum had been originally appointed by Obama for her homosexual activism.
Trump has
also maintained in his administration the most powerful symbol of the former
Obama administration’s homosexual imperialism:
the post of the Special Envoy for the Human Rights of LGBTI Persons. Many
American conservatives have complained of Trump’s bad decision. LaBarbera said,
“The reinstatement of Randy Berry as Special Envoy for the Human Rights of
LGBTI Persons is another defeat for pro-family advocates who were counting on
Trump to remove homosexual activists from the foreign affairs bureaucracy.”
Will
this dangerous trend spread among conservatives?
In
Israel under the right-wing coalition of Benjamin
Netanyhau, there is a similar effort to support the homosexual agenda.
The
attempt to associate homosexuality with conservatism will produce an automatic
divorce from the most important ally of conservatism: Christian values.
Conservatism
can survive without homosexuality, but it cannot survive without Christian
values.
The
new union of nationalism and homosexuality will not destroy the homosexualist
movement. It will bring the homosexualist movement into the conservative
movement, giving gay militants the supreme privilege to advance their ideology
through the Left and the Right at the same time. It will destroy the
traditional union between the conservative movement and Bible-believing
Christians in the United States.
MassResistance, which opposes
homosexual indoctrination on schoolchildren, was banned from CPAC, while Log
Cabin Republicans, which attacks the GOP’s stand for traditional marriage, was
allowed.
What does CPAC want? To learn more
lessons? More “conservative” homosexuals being exposed as Milo Yiannopoulos
was?
Major
conservative political figures in CPAC, including Marco Rubio, are neocons — whose ambition is to
push for the U.S. military hegemony around the world,
often at the expense of the very Christians values advocated by America’s
Founders. Neoconservatism is corrupting CPAC.
Real Christian conservatives should
take a stand regarding CPAC’s “conservatism.”
In solidarity to MassResistance, the
Family Research Council should excuse itself from the CPAC meeting and demand a
full explanation of why MassResistance and many other similar pro-family groups
in America have not been officially invited for leading participation and why
Log Cabin Republicans has not been banned and expelled. FRC should protest Log
Cabin Republicans’s presence at CPAC.
Worse than a corrupt Left is a
corrupt conservatism. From Left, you expect corruption as normal. But from
conservatism, you do not expect corruption and acceptance of ideologies,
including the homosexual agenda, that clash directly with the Bible values that
founded America.
