The StarOnline has some additional Michele Bachmann quotes from the past:
...Speaking at a national education conference in 2004, the Minnesota congresswoman (who was a state senator at the time) gave a lecture on the effects of same-sex marriage on education, stating:
“I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgendered. We need to have profound compassion for the people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life, and sexual identity disorders. This is a very real issue. It’s not funny, it’s sad. 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.”
StarOnline also states that Michele Bachmann signed a conservative pledge that is against marriage equality. The original last line of the pledge was removed after, as StarOnline says, "...consideral public outrage.":
“Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President.”
Those conservatives who crafted this "pledge" should be ashamed of themselves.
