Michele and Marcus Bachmann are Worse than Child Molesters – Part I

What is worse than a child-molester? As a parent I can think of only one thing. That is someone who causes the death of a child. This is the first in a three-part series on the criminal behavior of Michele and Marcus Bachmann that has resulted in the deaths of nine  teenage homosexuals in their district.

Have we forgotten the suicide of Tyler Clement, the Rutger’s student who took his life after being the victim of an outrageous violation of his privacy?  He didn’t kill himself because he was filmed having heterosexual intercourse, but because he was filmed having a homosexual relationship. Did our society learn nothing from his death? What about the three other suicides that occurred within the same month, which  all related to teenage bullying based on gender issues? . Even if you believe God doesn’t love homosexual people, surely you don’t believe in a God that encourages the death of those people. Michele and Marcus Bachmann do. Marcus Bachmann, the husband of Michele Bachmann, runs a “clinic” in Minnesota where he counsels homosexuals regarding their sexual orientation, suggesting that prayer is the solution to their “problem.” He is the poster child for the notion that people should “Pray Away the Gay.”

Michele and Marcus Bachmann have been described as engaged in a “war” on LGBT people. Marcus Bachmann has declared that Gay people are “barbarians”. Michele Bachmann told Minnesota educators that if teachers who are openly gay are permitted in the classrooms, that they could end up recruiting 8 year-old boys to their “way of life.”

Unable to separate her religious beliefs and her obligations as a Congresswoman, Michele Bachmann told the Minnesota state legislature that passing an anti-bullying law would be a “waste of time.” Her rationale was that there will always be bullies.   If this type of argument was persuasive, then we could also say that there will always be murders or drunk drivers, so why pass a law?

Over the past two years, a total of nine teenagers have committed suicide in a Minnesota school district represented by Rep. Michele Bachmann—the latest in May—and many more students have attempted to take their lives. State public health officials have labeled the area a “suicide contagion area” because of the unusually high death rate.  Michele Bachmann has remained silent  in spite of request for comments.

The U.S. Department of Justice and Department of Education has launched a federal investigation into these suicides.   Although Michele Bachmann and her husband have denied that the clinic they own has used religion or prayer in their clinic to “cure” homosexuality, actual video footage demonstrated that the opposite is true.   ABC News revealed a compelling story and video taken of these counseling sessions that proves the use of religion and prayer in an attempt to “cure” homosexuality.  The American Psychiatric Association has been outspoken in their criticism of these Christian “clinics” explaining that their message is “ineffective” and “harmful.”

The conduct of Michele and Marcus Bachmann is reprehensible.

1. Whether a person is heterosexual or homosexual is the result of  biological factors, much like the color of a person’s hair, eyes, height, or gender.

2. To suggest that homosexuality is something that needs to be “cured” is like comparing homosexuality to a disease.

3. To suggest that a person can stop being homosexual through prayer, suggests that if you are homosexual, you must be an evil person, because if you were holy you would be free from this evil.

4. Failing to address the crisis of teen suicide due to lack of acceptance of sexual orientation is a dominant factor in each of the nine teen suicides in Michele Bachman’s district.

Michele Bachmann has refused to “waste her time” in the past to address this intolerable situation. The nine teenagers who have taken their own lives, did so because of bullying which Michele Bachmann indicated was a waste of time to address. She didn’t make a video tape of a teen involved in an act of homosexuality, but by her refusal to take affirmative action against such brutality,  Michele Bachmann is complicit in the deaths of each of the teens, and those who will die in the future.  The image of homosexuals as “barbarians” who are in need of “education” and “discipline,”is sick.  As  a politician in Minnesota, she is in a position of authority and respect. Because Marcus Bachmann is a PhD. and a counselor, he is in a position of trust. Both have dedicated themselves to making young homosexual people in their community to feel that a characteristic with which they were born makes them in need of a cure. At least with child molesters the children can be saved and the molesters go to jail. In the case of Michele and Marcus Bachmann, the children can’t be brought back to life, Michele and Marcus won’t go to jail, and instead think they belong in the White House.
