Michele And Marcus Bachamann Say Being Gay Is “Personal Bondage…Despair…Enslavement”

In the October 31 People magazine, Michele and Marcus Bachmann defend previous statements they’ve made about homosexuality.

Michele Bachmann said in 2004 that being “involved in the gay and lesbian lifestyle” amounts to “personal bondage, personal despair and personal enslavement.” She added that she was not “bashing” anyone.

Her husband has compared gays to “barbarians” who need to be “disciplined.” He runs a Christian counseling center that has offered therapy to try to change sexual orientation, according to an undercover investigation by Truth Wins Out, a gay rights organization.

In the Oct. 31 issue of People, the couple defended themselves against accusations of harboring an anti-gay bias. “There’s never been a bias,” Marcus Bachmann said. “I’m no better than anyone else,” Michele added.
