“‘For now, I would like for gays to just be part of conservatives the way women are and blacks are — without a special designation,’ she told the crowd. ‘We don’t need the special designation for it.

“‘There is something to being gay apart from the sodomy. That’s what I want their new motto to be, by the way: Gays Without the Sodomy! This is why I get along with the gays. We like the same music, the same cocktails — often the same men. There is a whole culture to it…

“Not exactly resolving the ‘sin’ issue, though, she concluded, ‘The left is trying to co-opt gays, and I don’t think we should let them. I think they should be on our side. We’re for low taxes. We’re against crime. We’re against the terrorists who want to kill gays.

“‘Gays are natural conservatives.'”

“Now all this may emerge in another light in the next few days, but if this party is not a one-off, but at least a partial game changer, it will open up a whole new constituency for the GOP. The younger generation, watching Glee and living in a world very different from that of their fathers and mothers, does not see gayness as a sin but as a civil rights issue. Many of them brand the GOP as bigoted. Yet these same young people often see eye-to-eye with Republicans on government overspending to a degree that has imperiled our nation. They also recognize full well the threats from abroad from primitive extremists who endanger the rights of women, gays and everybody else and the necessity for our country to stand tall against them. In fact, these young people are the ones who will be doing the standing tall. Andrew Breitbart is opening the tent for them.

“So a word about my friend Andrew. I’m told he got a lot of flack for staging this event. But as I said to his business partner Larry Solov, every time you do something important or new or even interesting, you are going to get flack. And I must say this of Andrew, he is the only man I know who could have pulled something like this off with such elan. Forget for a moment the dissension such developments always engender. Andrew Breitbart proved them wrong with a party. Party on, Andrew.”
