As my Minnesota relatives would say, “UFF-DA!” Which translates to “OMG, what a f*****g flamer!” This may explain in part why the Minneapolis airport was so popular with Sen. “Wide Stance” Craig. I just can’t wait until this “open secret” in DC gets out!

All the mean spirited morons who commented are basically bullying, insecure, excuses for human beings. It’s embarrassing to me to be part of a human race that includes people like this. By the way, I’m a heterosexual married male (30 years + to my original wife) who served this Country, as did my Marine son; and I’m willing to bet most of you mean-spirited types, are the type that can’t hold a relationship together for 2 seconds, worship Hollywood types, love only yourself, and are basically parasites in this one-time great country – your type is the reason the U.S. is going to hell; you can’t hold a candle to Bachmann or her husband – basically, you are losers in our society.

LOL. Wow John. Did you look in your crystal ball or mirror for that self-affirming “I love my heterosexual self” screech? You should take your Stuart Smalley impersonation and keep on stepping, btw…YOU and your bigoted sociopathic seed are the parasites and losers in this nation, moron. We are also embarrassed that you are included in the human race.

John I would gladly die for this country but I am barred from service for having been born with adhd. Also about bachman and her husband, those two are horrible parasites who leech off my tax dollars in federal subsidies while bitching about taxes so I have every right to pile on them. Also those theofascists would take way my best friends right to live happily with the partner he chooses so those jackasses actions are something I take personally as should you.
YOu know that the republicans will sell you military types down the river when push comes to shove right? They’ll take away all benefits you ever got and privatize the VA. Mark my words they will. They arn’t conscerned with this country you see all they care about is creating what they consider a utopia. NO different than commies really.

So John’s a heterosexual who supports something he doesn’t actually know anything about and can’t be bothered to do any research. He also uses his service in the armed forces as an attempt to silence anyone who might disagree with him.
John, you’ve found the wrong board if you think that’s going to work.
[...] conservative she becomes, the more she can keep these problems at a distance. Her husband might be gay. That’s less menacing than a Sarah Palin – Bachmann’s a scandal away from [...]
For all we know Michele Bachmann is so anti-gay because she can’t come to terms with the fact that her own husband is gay. And who cares if he is or isn’t? It’s funny that he fits the stereotypical gay man’s mantra … why don’t you send him to reorientation camp, Ms. Bachmann? Maybe he’d meet some gay men and realize that they’re not the evil you spread and hopefully he’d teach you a thing or two in the process. You are the one who’s evil – what good comes from your hateful statements? You’re perpetuating ignorance and fascism. Go live in the g*****n middle east if want religious persecution, b***h.
Laura

Seems like he is gay…probably that’s why he works so hard against it.
Either way what he is saying about barbarians is horrible and in no way helps the fight against depression and suicide among gay teens.

July 1, 2011 at 11:07 am -
TWO is the only place where I see this. Why nobody else has said that Dr Bachmann is FAHHHBULOUS? Isn’t that clear? You doubt when you read this kind of rethoric, but when you see the video or hear him talking… As Laura says, he seems gay. 5 children, 23 foster children, look and public statements: what is he trying to prove, or hide? oh! just realized, maybe, just maybe, this is a magnificient marketing plot?… living proof that “barbarians can be educated”? (oh well, I may be reading too much here…)

@Dave I’m glad there’s somebody on here that gets it!
It’d be absolutely hilarious if Bachmann became the GOP nominee and … around October 2012 a video came out of her husband having gay sex. I’m dreaming.

Sorry, Dave and Alonzo. I disagree.
It is downright bizarre that the most anti-gay presidential candidate’s husband appears to be a big ole queen. Even more peculiar that this man makes money from helping gay people butch up.
Something does not compute and I’m not going to shy away from the obvious, nor sugarcoat this disconnect. Furthermore, there is scientific evidence that shows the most homophobic men are often closeted gay men. (see Henry Adams 1986 study from University of Georgia)
If Marcus is simply an effeminate straight dude, then he and Michele should be big advocated for ENDA, because it bans discrimination based on perceived sexual orientation.
Mary

I’m always leery of fundamentalist “Christian” family counselors because in addition to the unenlightened way they deal with gay youth and their families, they also tend to promote “male headship” models of the family, strict gender roles, and greater use of corporal punishment.
PhilipJ
July 3, 2011 at 12:36 pm -
It’s interesting how Marcus tells people how to act, to have certain behaviors, in his therapeutic “model”, rather than not being interested in dealing with their feelings.
I’m assuming that he uses that as his mantra as well; “as long as I act heterosexual, I’ll be heterosexual”. Shades of teaching butch lesbians how to apply makeup, and teaching gay men to play touch football used in some the “reparative” therapies, perhaps?
Alonzo
July 3, 2011 at 12:55 pm -
Personally I don’t see how anyone can accuse Marcus of being a closeted homosexual without any soild edvidence to back-up such a claim.
Daniel
July 3, 2011 at 4:54 pm -
Alonzo, I guess you don’t get on the internet much. People accuse people of all kinds of things with no evidence.
Alonzo
July 3, 2011 at 6:08 pm -
Just because people accuse others of something they have ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF OF doesn’t make it right.
Priya Lynn
July 3, 2011 at 6:55 pm -
Alonzo, his speech is evidence that he’s gay although admittedly its not a lot of evidence. He lisps and has inflection typical of women – as many gay men do.
Alonzo
July 3, 2011 at 7:15 pm -
That’s not evidence, that’s a stereotype.
Alonzo
July 3, 2011 at 7:26 pm -
Just to make it clear I firmly believe the therapy he offers is a scam and it can be harmful to others. However I don’t support making assumptions about somebody’s sexuality without any actual evidence to back it up.
Priya Lynn
July 3, 2011 at 10:55 pm -
You’re wrong Alonzo, it is evidence, there is at least one study that shows people can identify gay men by hearing them talk.
He is so light in his “ex-gay” loafers, they gotta tie him to stakes in the ground like a hot-air balloon – lest he flutter skyward.
Wayne Besen
July 4, 2011 at 12:12 am -
Alonzo:
We never said he WAS gay. We just said he acts stereotypically gay. The evidence is our eyes and ears.
It is odd as hell that the most anti-gay candidate is married to a man who APPEARS gay. It is incongruent, peculiar, and ironic.
ryban
July 4, 2011 at 12:38 am -
Maybe it’s also worth noting that when folks here comment about how he seems totally gay, it’s not being stated as an insult – because there’s nothing wrong with being gay. There is something wrong with being gay and doing the work he does. But the idea that he’s gay is a fine idea. And a really funny one! (uh, I just worry that homophobes reading this will see these comments as insults.)
alonzo
July 4, 2011 at 1:50 am -
When I watch the video I see a hypocritical effeminate heterosexist man and nothing more. To implying, assume or to suggest Bachmann is gay based on a stereotype of gay men is in my opinion against one of the many things we as a community are suppose to be fighting against. Just sayin’.
Wayne Besen
July 4, 2011 at 2:30 am -
Well, Alonzo, you are wrong.
Alonzo
July 4, 2011 at 2:46 am -
How am I wrong? By your logic I can assume you’re a heterosexual male soley based on the sound of your voice and mannerisms.
Alonzo
July 4, 2011 at 3:01 am -
Also I want to point out again very clearly – I find what Marcus Bachmann does for a living to be repugnant, harmful and Un-American. My only issue is how can anyone be okay with implying, assuming or suggest Bachmann is and/or could be gay completely based on a stereotype of gay men.
Priya Lynn
July 4, 2011 at 11:28 am -
Alonzo said “How am I wrong? By your logic I can assume you’re a heterosexual male soley based on the sound of your voice and mannerisms.”.
Go ahead.
There’s a reason why this stereotype of gay men exists Alonzo – its accurate in many instances.
Priya Lynn
July 4, 2011 at 12:12 pm -
And by the way Alonzo, his being married to a woman isn’t proof that he’s heterosexual either. You can’t claim he’s heterosexual if you want your argument to be consistent.
he’s a flamer. No doubt in my mind he’s gay.
gaydar goes *PINGGGG!!!*
Wow. Glass closet doors are not a wise idea… He’s FAHHHHBULOUS!!!!

So there’s that.
