"She's been an aggressive advocate for some of the most radical views that have ever been expressed," said Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America.
Yet the Senate health Committee on Thursday approved Feldblum for the EEOC, sending her nomination to the full Senate for a vote.
In 2004, Feldblum outlined her strategy for strengthening gay rights.
"There is a war that needs to be fought and it's not a war overseas where we're killing people in the name of liberating them," she said. "It is a war right here at home where we need to convince people that morality demands full equality for gay people.
But during the Senate committee hearing, Feldblum backed away from a document she signed in 2006 advocating government recognition of various kinds of sexual relationships, including those with multiple partners and unorthodox situations.
She now calls it a mistake.
