Top U.S. conservative event CPAC bans pro-family group, approves pro-LGBT
Doug Mainwaring

WASHINGTON, DC, February 15, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) abruptly rescinded its acceptance of pro-family group MassResistance as an exhibitor at its annual national meeting next week while permitting the pro-LGBT group, Log Cabin Republicans, to remain.

In a stinging statement issued by MassResistance in response to CPAC “banning” the group, founder Brian Camenker asked, “Is the ‘Conservative Political Action Conference’ really conservative?”

Saw this mentioned at renewamerica.com just this morning though this decision appeared to have been made a week or so ago.  Personally, I don't think the Mass Resistance people are hateful or out of line.

“Is the ‘Conservative Political Action Conference’ really conservative?”

"Conservative" no longer means what it used to mean.

"Conservative" has been redefined to encompass an ideology that used to define Moderate-to-Liberal Big Government Democrats.

It is how you get a people who voted for a lifelong-NYC Liberal Democrat, to declare him to be more "Conservative" than any president in American history.

Which is why CPAC and the Republican Party today look like the Democrat Conventions of the 80's and 90s.

This article goes into detail about CPAC's reasoning, which basically comes down to Mass Resistance's "tone":

Yes.  Like typical liberals (or wives  ^-^), one must focus on 'tone' regardless of the substance of a statement or position.

"Conservatism" is now what used to be called "liberalism".

Not like we did not warn this would happen.
