Quote of the Day

"Cher Tweeted that she thought maybe [Marcus] Bachmann was gay. And Mr. Bachman was so outraged he threw out his vast collection of Cher albums and memorabilia."

--Bill Maher (by way of LCNY Bureau Chief Doug).

Bachmann on Gays

Michele Bachmann has been refusing to answer questions about her husband's "ex-gay" clinic now that it has been exposed.  She may want to avoid talking about gays now that she wants to be President, but she's said plenty in the past.  Here are her words in 2004:

"Any of you who have members of your family that are in the lifestyle—we have a member of our family that is. This is not funny. It’s a very sad life. It’s part of Satan, I think, to say this is gay. It’s anything but gay. And so we are not here tonight -- in fact, I wish this whole room was filled with the gay community -- because we'd reach our hand out in love. The Love Won Out conference was here not too long ago in the Twin Cities, and it’s profoundly sad to recognize that almost all, if not all, individuals who have gone into the lifestyle have been abused at one time in their life, either by a male or by a female."

In case you missed it, Truth Wins Out went to Marcus Bachmann's crackpot clinic and here is what they found:

I Hear Marcus Bachmann Loves Wildflowers, Too

You have to go to Boy Culture to see the best take on Dr. Marcus "homosexuals are barbarians who need to be disciplined" Bachmann yet.  I sooo want to steal his idea!

Barbarians at the Gate

LC NY Bureau Chief Doug has tipped me off to this fascinating clip of Dr. Marcus "I'm not Cam on Modern Family" Bachmann explaining his views on homosexuality on the radio:



Homosexuals are barbarians who need to be disciplined?  I think I had that fever dream when I was 13. 

The anti-gay industry is led by people like Marcus Bachmann along with Bryan Fischer, Bryan Brown, Tony Toni Tone Perkins, Bill Donahue; the list goes on.  What a farce.
