{{stub}}The '''Indiana Policy Review Foundation''' (IPR) is a conservative [[think tank]] and member right-wing pressure group that is an affiliate of the [[State Policy Network]]. IPR states as its mission "to marshall[''sic''] the best thought on governmental, economic and educational issues at the state and municipal levels" through exalting "the truths of the Declaration of Independence, especially as they apply to the interrelated freedoms of religion, property and speech," emphasizing "primacy of the individual in addressing public concerns," and recognizing "that equality of opportunity is sacrificed in pursuit of equality of results."<ref>[http://inpolicy.org/about-us/ "About Us"], organizational website, accessed November 2012</ref>IPR was co-founded by its board president, [[Byron S.

We actually called our little foundation in Indiana the Indiana Policy Review Foundation, very much as a homage to Policy Review Magazine of Heritage, and we modeled on the state level what Heritage had done before."<ref>Heritage Foundation, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRW3CeAuZ5Y Rep.

[[Mike Pence]] was president of IPR, the journal published an article in August 1993 arguing against homosexuals serving in the military. Col. Ronald Ray wrote, "“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.”<ref name="rr">Indiana Policy Journal, [http://www.pfaw.org/sites/default/files/images/4335_001.pdf?_ga=1.263053636.952385322.1475090377 Military Necessity and Homosexuality], ''Indiana Policy Review'', August 1993.</ref>. As ''Right Wing Watch'' points out, "The article went on to list what the author described as ‘gay sexual practices' in great detail. It then claimed that proponents of allowing gays to serve in the military ignore 'counter-espionage case histories involving homosexuals who became traitors through blackmail.' Finally, Ray attempted to link homosexuality to pedophilia by citing NAMBLA and quoting a publication which claimed that 'the love between man and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality.'"<ref>Right Wing Watch, [http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/mike-pence-lamented-aids-activists-speaking-gop-convention-published-anti-gay-articles-india Mike Pence Lamented 'AIDS Activists' Speaking At GOP Convention, Published Anti-Gay Articles In Indiana Journal], ''Right Wing Watch'', August 31, 2016.</ref> ==Ties to the State Policy Network==IPR is an affiliate member of the [[State Policy Institute]]. {{About_SPN}} ==Funding==The Indiana Policy Review Foundation does not disclose its donors, but some of its funding sources are known through other tax filings.
