There is a fallacy that undermines Horowitz' entire argument. The radical left element mong gays such as ActUp and other allied organizations make any compromise with gay activists impossible. The ActUp crowd wants change to body politic in whatever way is necssary to normalize the gay lifestyle. If such changes mandate that Christian leaders be put concentration camps then so be it.
The core leadership group in ActUp and the HRC are neo-facists who will not tolerate dissent. They hide this reality behind a lot of elevated rhetoric but at root they are ant-democratic elitists who cynically manipulate democratic institutions in order to advance their agenda.
The Christian leaders were correct to protest the meeting with Racicot but they used the wrong reason when doing so. The anti-democratic, almost totalitarian political goals of these organizations should been focus of the protest which should have immediately de-legitimized them as political actors.
Horowitz has a point about how to approach political problems but he overlooks the fact that ActUp and its allied organizations completely overrides anything that the "Log Cabin Republicans" might do with their Facist tactics and political program.

So, dont compromise with them!! We can win political arguments with such radical fools as long as we dont get tagged as 'bigots'.
See how much more powerful it can be to marginalize these radicals as *radicals* and not "homosexuals vs. those-who-think-they-are-sinners"? ... I am far far far far far far far more offended by radicalism of ActUp than the fact that they are hell-bent on AIDS.
