It depends on what you characterize as "The Gay Agenda"

I do not support gay marriage, I used to I admit it but I no longer do. I do not support a amendment to the constitution unless SCOTUS is up to no good and decides to find a RIGHT to gay marriage. Otherwise, it is a state issue just like abortion used to be and still should be and in time will be.

I do think employers should have the right to not higher a gay person if it offends them. I would support a 'dont ask dont tell' policy in the work place though. Someones bedroom life should be kept out of the workplace.

I don't have a problem with gay adoption as long as they are the best candidate interested in the child. Preference should always go above all else to married, stable, heterosexual couples.

I am in favor of state and local level domestic partnership agreements. It is not the same as marriage, one is recognized by the government and the government only, the other is recognized and blessed by god.

I am against hate crimes legislation in all forms and not just for gays as all crimes are committed in hate and not to mention it could lead to the authoritarian freedom of speech stripping racism courts that have been set up in S. Africa. If their is some concerted effort by a group to harass, assault, or kill a minority group, the RICO statute could roll up those hate groups.

Otherwise, I think ones bedroom life is between them and God.

So the question remains, what push are the Log Cabin guys making that Rudy thinks is in the right direction for the GOP?

I think what you said mostly makes sense.

I am in favor of state and local level domestic partnership agreements. It is not the same as marriage, one is recognized by the government and the government only, the other is recognized and blessed by god.

An additional point here - I think it would be best if we completely isolated the governmental and religious aspects of marriage. There are gay marriages that are already recognized and blessed by God, just not by the government. In that sense, gay marriage already exists, and will exist or not exist regardless of what the government does. Since marriage is a religious institution, defined differently by different religions, I think government should be left out of it entirely, and we should simply have domestic partnerships for any couple.

Contradicting yourself... If it is private, keep it private...
