Politics: More from Ryan Sorba, the gay-bashing conservative at CPAC

  • I think it’s the result of a complex process of social and environmental factors, but that it’s reversible.
  • Conservative gay-basher Ryan Sorba • Regarding his opinion on homosexuality. He was confronted about the issue by Alex Knepper, an American University student who is a gay conservative. Sorba was pretty much a jerk to Knepper, saying that Knepper had a lisp and went on about how homosexuality wasn’t a part of natural law. Sorba is a bizarre little part of the conservative movement, one who probably will be forgotten after CPAC. But man, he and his fringe opinions are so much fun to criticize now! source

Politics: Ryan Sorba: How did this gay-bashing jerkbag get on CPAC’s stage?

  • Ryan Sorba, shown in this clip here, bashed CPAC for bringing a gay conservative organization, GOProud, as a sponsor. And his arguments make him sound like a massive bigot. And he got booed pretty impressively. Hey, bigoted assclown, you’re supposed to be bringing more people under your tent, not less, OK? It’s pretty awesome that a huge conference of ultra-conservatives won’t put up with this kind of bigotry. source
