GOProud announced yesterday that Tammy Bruce will serve as Chairperson for their newly established Advisory Council. Tammy Bruce is a lesbian conservative talk radio host and author of three books. Formerly, she served as the President of the Los Angeles National Organization for Women from 1990 to 1996. Tammy Bruce describes herself as an openly gay, pro-choice, gun owning, pro-death penalty, independent conservative.
GOProud’s Advisory Committee will consist of conservative leaders from the media as well as political and public policy circles. The Committee will serve as a talent resource for the organization.
Today GOProud, the only national organization of gay conservatives and their allies, announced that best selling author and national radio talk show host Tammy Bruce will chair the group’s newly formed Advisory Council. “Tammy Bruce is one of the most influential voices in the conservative movement today,” said Christopher Barron, Chairman of GOProud’s Board. “We are honored to have her as part of the GOProud team.
I can only hope Tammy’s days of supporting the likes of Boxer and Feinstein are over. If so, then I’m happy for her role on the Advisory Council. I disagree with supporting pro-choice, but hey, we all have our opinions.
I feel the same way, Dena. There are times when I just don’t know how to take her. But she’s a savvy woman who should bring some sophisticated insider pizazz to GOProud.

How do I go about becoming an alley of GOProud? Are you a member?
Hi Glen. GOProud doesn’t seem to be a membership-driven organization. I’ve signed up for their announcements, etc. and you can make a contribution. But they don’t seem to offer outright ‘membership’ with required dues.
That’s okay. To quote the wise sage Groucho Marx, “I would never join a group who would have someone like me as a member.”
Groucho was a wisecracking sage. But I think you’d add an interesting perspective to any group, Glen.
I have great respect for Tammy Bruce. GOProud has made a wise choice.
