Martin Mawyer, president of the Christian Action Network, found himself arguing on his adversaries’ turf Tuesday when he debated Rich Tafel, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, on “The Role of Homosexuals in the Republican Party.”

Mawyer’s difficulties arose when a questioner asked what Mawyer meant by the term “homosexual agenda.” Mawyer responded by listing gays in the military, multiculturalism, condom-dispensing, and a number of other measures. Tafel acknowledged that the Log Cabin Republicans backed some, but not all, of the items.
