Christopher R. Barron, Chairman of the GOProud Board – “Andrew Breitbart is one of the most influential voices in the conservative movement today. We are thrilled to have him as part of the GOProud team.”
Today, GOProud, the only national organization of gay conservatives and their allies, announced that conservative media mogul Andrew Breitbart will join the organization’s Advisory Council. “Andrew Breitbart is one of the most influential voices in the conservative movement today,” said Christopher Barron, Chairman of GOProud’s Board. “We are thrilled to have him as part of the GOProud team.”
“I applaud GOProud’s strong, principled conservatism and admire their courage to defy the left’s stifling demand for group conformity,” said Andrew Breitbart. “As a fierce opponent of the cultural Marxism and political correctness that divides Americans into different identity groups, I embrace the American motto E Pluribus Unum as an antidote to the Democratic Party’s divide and conquer strategy.”
Breitbart joins Margaret Hoover, Grover Norquist and Tammy Bruce on the GOProud Advisory Council.
Andrew Breitbart is publisher of the news portals Breitbart.com and Breitbart.tv. In January 2009, he launched Big Hollywood, a group blog off of Breitbart.com on Hollywood and culture from a center/right perspective.

“Like GOProud, Andrew Breitbart is on the cutting edge of the conservative movement. No one better exemplifies the growing strength of the new media more than Andrew Breitbart. Andrew is a fearless, committed advocate for conservative principles and we welcome him to the GOProud leadership team,” concluded Barron.
