The annual Conservative Political Action Conference, which functions kind of like a Gathering of the Juggalos for Rick Santorum superfans, is currently underway in Washington. Also underway? CPAC attendees placing ads for gay casual encounters on Craigslist. Maybe.
CPAC has the dubious distinction of being on the very wrong side of history (and sometimes on the wrong side of reality) when it comes to a host of social issues. One of those social issues is the fight for gay rights, which just today, Oliver North told CPAC attendees was kind of like the fight over slavery (ostensibly, in this analogy, Oliver North represents the slaves and progressive pro-gay rights organizations and people like Edith Windsor represent the Michael Fassbenders). Rick Santorum’s butthole-obsessed face spoke for awhile. While there’s certainly a vocal and growing contingent within American conservatism that is pro-gay rights, CPAC is one of the last bastions where homophobic talk isn’t almost drowned out by boos.
As such, the idea of an attendee of a conservative conference teeming with homophobes also serving as a simmering pot of gay sexual tension is extra delicious for irony appreciators. New York Magazine rounded up a few Craigslist ads that purport to have been written by CPAC attendees looking for some gay sex. Like this one, for example,
Another, which was written by a “college freshman” in town for CPAC (there’s some small dicks in the below photoset, but you can barely tell).
Very un-Republican flannel, dude.
Others don’t even sound remotely real, but somehow, that doesn’t detract at all from this one’s greatness.
Patriots!What an incredible day today was! Christie and Jindal and some great sessions. I am ready to unwind and have some fun. I am looking to make one of my biggest fantasies come true.
