And let’s face it: what is our culture, what is our public education system doing today? They are giving full, wide-open doors to children, not only giving encouragement to think it but to encourage action steps.
That’s why we need to understand what fully is the percentage of homosexuals in this country is small. But by the open doors, I can see that we are experiencing that it is starting to increase.
– Michele Bachmann’s husband and strategist, Dr. Marcus Bachmann. He runs a Christian counseling center that gives advice to parents worried about their possibly gay kids. Good to know that he delivers his advice in the ultimate gay voice.
We don’t know if his ex-gay therapy has driven kids to commit suicide like Dr. Rekers yet. But we do bet that, like his wife, he probably has the spirit of a pedophiliac murder-clown inside him.

Obamas got 2012 in the bag.

@Lisa Simpson: That’s for damn sure. With this horror show of a circus the GOP has running.

she has nice hair, though.

I hear closet-homo all over his voice.

How does he know how many gay people there are in the country? If anything, the number is underestimated. A lot of closet cases are republicans and won’t ever come out. No amount of surveys would ever deliver an accurate number. Just isn’t feasible.

“Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road.”
It’s incredible the amount of self-loathing that is present.

I bet Dr. Marcus Bachmann loves it when Michelle wears a strap-on for those long weekends at the lake!

Interesting article on Bachmann from Rolling Stone:

Oh my, I never heard the man’s voice before.
I am Butchie McButch from Butch, CA compared to him.

Huh . . . Miss Thing here probably has had to satisfy his wife’s carnal desires with nothing more than Bible verses, which would explain why she’s loonier than a carnival ride in schizophrenia-land.
Steve
This guy is an idiot. Which is sad because everything he said makes perfect sense.
Barbarians need to be educated? Well sure, barbarians deserve to be educated, but with what education? One that teaches inclusiveness? In Bachmann’s mind, that kind of education is sinful.
Authority figures and education need to teach kids how to think and act? Well yeah, isn’t that the whole point of these entities, to teach the younger generations?
The number of open homosexuals increases as the world accepts them more? What the hell? No they don’t! Why wouldn’t perfectly comfortable people lie to themselves and their peers and live a stressful life of lies?

The squeakier the wheel, the more it wants to get greased. And this number sounds like a drag queen Minnie Mouse. I wish I could bring myself to care, but Haggard, Rekers et al have trodden this path before, so even his self-hating closetry just looks last season. What a waste of a life, in so many ways.
Jeffree
That was my first —and hopefully last— exposure to his voice. How can anyone NOT question his het-ness?
And how he can keep his license saying unscientific crâp like that?
Joebarb
gay.
Michael
This guy could not be any gayer. It’s a bit odd, IMO, the Tea Party women (Palin, Bachmann) are married to closeted gay men.
Jim Hlavac
Whom is the barbarian? Oh, yah, him.
Abel
Wonder who’s lifting his luggage?
gregger
To “Dr” Bachmann, “Queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen PLEASE, you’re gayer than a picnic basket or a party frock! He probably likes the ‘discipline” on himself.
ChrisC
Wow, Michele Bachmann has the worst Gaydar in the entire world!
Marc
Just another reason the GOP is fucked.
tjr101
Gasp, can you imagine this self-hating, flaming queen as out first lady? Crank up the gas ovens.
InscrutableTed
Wow, he really does have a gay voice.
“We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps”
Is that what he tells his patients? That’s it’s okay to have homosexual thoughts and feelings as long as you don’t act on them?
Because that’s obviously what he’s telling himself.
C’mon, Marcus. Just come out of the closet already. No one’s saying you have to attend orgies or anything. Just find a nice guy to settle down with and stop torturing yourself. Jesus doesn’t hate you.
InscrutableTed
Oh my… it’s not just his voice. The dude’s a flamer.

Have the Republicans noticed this yet?
InscrutableTed
He seems pretty chipper in that video. Ten bucks says he just got cock at a truck stop that morning.
Mark my words: Scandal waiting to happen.
Rainfish
The saving grace though is that those adopted children of theirs (after they have been thoroughly de-programmed) at least wont materially add the Bachmann’s polluted DNA to the world’s gene pool. Additionally, perhaps the birth children will break the cycle of bigotry when they are old enough to leave the viper’s nest.
…One can only hope.
NovaNardis
It’s thoroughly surprising considering he’s a big tap-dancing queen.
Jeffree
@Rainfish: The Bachmann’s son is going to med. school to be a psýchiatrist. Lol, probably trying to figure out Dad’s “problem”!
Rainfish
@Jeffree: who wrote: “The Bachmann’s son is going to med. school to be a psychiatrist.”

I imagine he’ll be spending a lot of time on his own couch. :-p
…Poor thing. 🙁
robert in NYC
He runs a counseling center, “christian counseling”. He takes religion, repackages it, gets a big government handout to the tune of $137,000 (medicaid benefits) and then pushes praying away the gay on tax payer dollars. Something tells me that’s a conflict of interest on several levels. Taxpayers funding “christian” organizations? I can’t wait for this to unravel. It proves one thing though, republicans are a bunch of frauds. They love big government when it feathers their own nests, but villify it when poor people need help.

The first paragraph is a perfect summary of how we should be looking at people like him…

I hope they die in a car accident. They deserve it.
Stace
Hmm I dont sound like that. Does that mean I’m not really gay or that queerty is trading in the same tired stereotypes we all should be educating against?
If anything he obviously loves to be dominated. By his wife, god and presumably at some point a terrible manly “barbarian.”

I can’t wait for Marcus Bachmann to get caught with a Craigslist call-boy. It’s gonna be delicious.
