Bachmann stands up for bullies
The re-election of Michele Bachmann paints a foreboding future for LGBT youth in her jurisdiction.
Yet, it is impossible to ignore all the blatant showcases of bigotry and hypocrisy she has displayed during each of her campaigns. During a Q-and-A in 2011 at Waverly Town Hall, Bachmann stated, I ascribe honor and dignity to every person, and then later, We all have the same civil rights. And so thats really what the governments role is to protect our civil rights.
Then, when asked in further detail how she felt about the LGBT community and bullying, she went on to say, There are no special rights based on your sex practices, and What I believe is that the federal government should have nothing to say about the local school classroom. The president shouldnt; the government shouldnt.
Last year, the mother of a gay teenager who committed suicide in 2010 brought a box to Bachmanns campaign office containing 141,000 signatures petitioning her to publicly address gay bullying. Bachmann responded by stating, Bullying is wrong. This statement contrasted a previous one she made in 2006, which, in summary, claimed that bullying has always happened and that prohibiting it would be impossible without infringing on freedom of speech. The cherry on top was her final question, will we be expecting boys to be girls?
This pathetic women is so spiteful because everyone knows her own husband is secretly gay.
Yeah, it's been my experience the best way to keep a secret is for everyone to know about it. You clowns are a hoot. Pathetic, but a hoot nonetheless.
