PERSON PROFILE

Gary L. Bauer

Gary L. Bauer, director of the Office of Policy Development in the Reagan White House, [formerly headed] the Family Research Council (FRC), the Washington-based lobbying arm of James Dobson's Focus on the Family. When in 1992 the overtly political activities of the FRC threatened the nonprofit status of Dobson's operation, the two organizations became legally separate.

Though often treated as a mainstream social research organization by the media, the FRC, by Bauer's own admission, conducts no research. Strenuously "pro-life" and homophobic, the FRC opposes both public television and government subsidy of the arts. Bauer claims the National Endowment for the Arts is run by "a small cadre of cultural revolutionaries, militant homosexuals, and anti-religious bigots who are intent on attacking the average American's most deeply held beliefs while sending them the bill."
