Oh come on, somebody has to have more info on Gary Bauer. He's a very important voice these days. I wish I could help. -- Zakharov 22:23, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I cut back the section on allegations of marital infidelity, and I deleted the associated link to a Slate article by William Saletan. Reasons: (1) The Saletan article CRITICIZES the allegations as poorly-sourced. Using that article as a reference is exactly the kind of cheap trick Saletan is complaining about. (2) The Christianity Today reference appears to be legit, but the relevant paragraph of the article (only accessible to subscribers but confirmable through quotes elsewhere on the web) was pulled essentially word-for-word from CT (not just the quoted portion) and thus was a copyright violation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knorlin ( talk • contribs) 02:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Got rid of that silly crap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.118.151 ( talk) 23:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Did Gary Bauer attend Georgetown College, a private liberal arts college in his native Kentucky, or did he attend Georgetown College of Arts and Sciences (frequently know as Georgetown College), which is an undergraduate school within Georgetown University, where he later received his law degree? The link in the wiki page links to a disambig. page, so I am uncertain. 134.88.184.225 ( talk) 05:21, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
A promotional photo of him is on his "About Gary Bauer" page on his "American Values" website, at [1]. I'd upload it but it looks like promotional photos of living humans is currently not allowed. Tempshill ( talk) 21:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
There is a lack of personal information. I actually run into Bauer at IAD; I was sitting down in rather informal wear for a very long flight ahead, Bauer passed by and threw the most condemnatory and sneering look at me. I do not think that he fits within the normal parameters of a mentally healthy person. Some of the information on Bauer's site may be good to add to this. While I do not find many of his positions particularly alarming, I think that his personality is extremely warped. This piece can be improved with a more detailed disucssion about his character, nature etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.194.63.129 ( talk) 10:47, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Does Gary Bauer fit the definition of a neoconservative? If so, why? Pirate Dan ( talk) 14:28, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
While it's fair to say that Bauer supported "anti-gay" candidates, it's not fair to simply replace "pro-family" with "anti-gay." Opposing gays isn't the sum total of pro-family politics; it also includes trying to reduce divorce, preserving traditional parental prerogatives, and opposing other forms of marriage like polygamy. I think it is therefore appropriate to retain both "pro-family" and "anti-gay" descriptors (especially since there are many pundits, like Jonathan Rauch and Andrew Sullivan, who are pro-family without being anti-gay).
Also, the edit regarding the Manhattan Declaration was inaccurate. The Declaration says, verbatim, "we will not comply with any edict that purports to compel our institutions to participate in abortions, embryo-destructive research, assisted suicide and euthanasia, or any other anti-life act; nor will we bend to any rule purporting to force us to bless immoral sexual partnerships, treat them as marriages or the equivalent, or refrain from proclaiming the truth, as we know it, about morality and immorality and marriage and the family." It is, of course, dubious whether any such edicts exist in America, or are likely ever to exist, but there is no mention of refusing to comply with laws permitting abortion or same-sex marriage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Piratedan ( talk • contribs) 22:24, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
"Anti-gay" is a loaded term and implies animus toward gays. To be opposed to the dominant political views of gays does not make one anti-gay. I believe someone like Fred Phelps could be fairly characterized as anti-gay, but not Gary Bauer or CWF. In addition, the current practice in WP is to use an organization's self-described labels (which I incidentally disagree with). Their self-descriptors are "pro-family, pro-life, and pro-free enterprise." I've changed the article to reflect their self-description, putting the terms in quotes to demonstrate that they are their terms. Drrll ( talk) 23:14, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
