The piece claimed that &ldquo;gaydom&rdquo; was a &ldquo;pathological condition&rdquo; and argued that LGBT editors and reporters should not keep their sexuality a secret because it might slant their coverage. &ldquo;[T]he more extreme of the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> movement consider themselves members of a sexual determined political party,&rdquo; the piece explained.<\/p>\n<p>A few months earlier, in August 1993, the journal, with Pence on the masthead,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pfaw.org\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/4335_001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">published a piece<\/a>&nbsp;objecting to the idea of <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> people serving in the military. The article, written by Col. Ronald Ray, a senior fellow at the [name foundation], stated that &ldquo;homosexuals are not as a group able bodied. They are known to carry extremely high rates of disease brought on because of the nature of their sexual practices and the promiscuity which is a hallmark of their lifestyle.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pfaw.org\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/4335_001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The article&nbsp;<\/a>went&nbsp;on to list what the author described as &ldquo;&lsquo;<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>&rsquo; sexual practices&rdquo; in great detail. It then claimed that proponents of allowing <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gays<\/a> to serve in the military ignore &ldquo;counter-espionage case histories involving homosexuals who became traitors through blackmail.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Ray attempted to link homosexuality to pedophilia by citing NAMBLA and quoting a publication which claimed that &ldquo;the love between <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">boys<\/a> is at the foundation of homosexuality.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightwingwatch.org\/content\/mike-pence-lamented-aids-activists-speaking-gop-convention-published-anti-gay-articles-india\">Documents unearthed by RWW&nbsp;<\/a>also&nbsp;show that Pence penned a piece back in the October-November 1996 issue of&nbsp;<em>Indiana Policy Review<\/em> in which he bemoaned that year&rsquo;s GOP convention as being &ldquo;an endless line of pro-choice <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">women<\/a>, AIDS activists, and proponents of Affirmative Action.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>RELATED &ndash;&nbsp;<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2016\/07\/matt-baume-mike-pence\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Matt Baume Gives Mike Pence&rsquo;s Vile Anti-LGBT Moments the Reading They Deserve: WATCH<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The &ldquo;AIDS activists&rdquo; Pence&nbsp;refers to were an HIV positive <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">female<\/a> former Ford administration staffer and a 6 year-old child who was born with HIV.<\/p>\n<p>But as RWW notes, those were likely not the activists Pence&nbsp;was really referring to: &ldquo;His objection was likely that at the time, HIV\/AIDS was still viewed as a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> issue.
