Bachmann’s husband again tied to ‘pray away the gay therapy’ caught on video | Washington Blade - America's Leading Gay News Source
ABC News has picked up an undercover video from LGBT-activist Wayen Besens TruthWinsOut of a counselor recommending prayer to treat homosexuality last month at the counseling practice of Michele Bachmanns husband Marcus Bachmann.
The Bachmanns have denied patients have been counseled in such ways, but the video and the growing chorus of former patients coming out claiming to have been treated in this manner for their homosexuality by the Bachmann clinic.
In response, the Human Rights Campaignwhich has already endorsed President Barack Obama for re-election in 2012has launched a petition demanding GOP Presidential candidates sign a pledge disavowing dangerous ex-gay therapy, which major American mental-health groups from the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association and more have denounced as extremely harmful to patients.
