From your link:

"Log Cabin presented Schwarzenegger with its Ronald Reagan Award. This award recognizes those individuals who maintain a big tent philosophy by working for the inclusion of all Americans in the Republican Party. The award is named after former California Governor and President Ronald Reagan for his leadership in helping defeat the 1978 Briggs Initiative. This proposal would have barred openly gay and lesbian people from teaching in California public schools. Reagan's courageous opposition to this anti-gay initiative inspired the founding of Log Cabin Republicans in California 30 years ago. The evening also looked back at the 30 year history of Log Cabin.
"


Looks like they liked Reagan too -- does that make Reagan bad?

I'm reading that too. Reagan helped defeat Senator John Briggs initiative to ban homosexual teachers from becoming teachers.

I don't know if Reagan just supported that initiative or if he was a Log Cabin Republican.

Regardless, the contract for endorsement has to go.
