The Indiana Policy Review Foundation publishes the Indiana Policy Review, a journal that describes its mission as, "to marshall the best thought on governmental, economic and educational issues at the state and municipal levels."<ref>Indiana Policy Review, [http://www.pageturnpro.com/Indiana-Policy-Review-Foundation/74057-Fall-2016/index.html#2 Fall 2016], ''Indiana Policy Review'', Fall 2016.</ref>
While Gov. [[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 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>
