GOProud co-founder Jimmy LaSalvia has officially announced that he is abandoning the Republican Party due to what he sees as a tolerance of bigotry.
Today, I joined the ranks of unaffiliated voters, he said in a post on his website Monday. I am every bit as conservative as Ive always been, but I just cant bring myself to carry the Republican label any longer. You see, I just dont agree with the big-government conservatives who run the party now.

[HR][/HR]The other reason I am leaving is the tolerance of bigotry in the GOP. The current leadership lacks the courage to stand up to it Im not sure they ever will, he said.
GOProud was co-founded in April 2009 by Mr. LaSalvia and Christopher R. Barron as a tax exempt 527 organization that represents conservative homosexuals and their allies.
