GOProud is participating in a roundtable on Saturday about technology and outreach, not about gay rights. They are also an unlikely sponsor at this year's annual conservative conference and are hoping to not only promote the issues that set it apart from many Republicans, but also draw attention to the beliefs they share. GOProud was founded by former members of the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay and lesbian Republican grass-roots organization. The funny, and slightly ironic, part is their booth at the convention is just two spaces away from the exhibition for the National Organization for Marriage, which wants the government to define marriage as between a man and a woman. The members' nontraditional conservative views are pissing some attendees off who are at the convention, even though they are not going to be talking about gay rights at the roundtable.
"Gays and lesbians have the right to live as they choose, but they don't have the right to redefine marriage for the rest of us," Plante said. But yet the other group, National Orangization for Marriage who wants to define marriage, doesn't get any criticism.
