ABOUT US

Gay Conservatives of Color (GCOC)  is a new nationwide organization of LGBT Conservatives, Republicans and Libertarians of Color who believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored. While we don't all agree on every issue, we do agree that LGBT people should be respected and welcomed in the Republican Party.

Mission

The mission of GCOC will be to foster the principles of liberty to all communities no matter race or sexual orientation. We believe the principles of liberty are for EVERYONE, including people of color and the gay community.


What we Believe

WE BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.

WE BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, or sexual orientation.

WE BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.

WE BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.

WE BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least.

WE BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.

 WE BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.

 WE BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.

 FINALLY, WE believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.


NOTE: We have hired an attorney and are in the midst of doing the paperwork to make us a Non-Profit Organization.
