US NEWS/ COULTER SAYS GAY MARRIAGE NOT A "RIGHT"

Ann Coulter told an audience of gay Republicans, meeting at the home of PayPal founder Peter Thiel, that gay marriage isn't a civil right. Coulter told 150 attendees of the Homocon event this past weekend that "marriage is not a civil right – you’re not black!" She is reported to have gone on to tell the audience, which included the gay porn baron Michael Lucas that gays are among the wealthiest demographic groups in the United States. "Blacks must be looking at the gays saying, 'Why can’t we be oppressed like that?'" Coulter also argued that conservative politicans who have benefited from easy divorces were hypocritical not to support gay marriage. She suggested that those in favor of straight only marriage should begin an effort to repeal divorce laws across the country. Last month, when she announced she would be speaking to the Homocon event, Coulter said: "giving a speech is not an endorsement of every position held by the people I'm speaking to." (SK COMMENT: With events like this, is it any wonder that most of us wonder how you can by gay and Republican at the same time? Coulter must be laughing all the way to the bank).
