Reality Denying Michele Bachmann Disputes Kinsey Report

Lunatic GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann just can't seem to keep her mouth shout and avoid babbling anti-gay batshitery. Of course, the irony is all the greater since Bachmann's husband "Marcia" has to be the most visible closeted gay in the country at the moment. Yes, he's in deep, deep denial but as one commenter on an Advocate story remarked, when he "opens his mouth... chiffon spills out." Bachmann's latest anti-gay drivel came out when a woman confronted them with information about the size of the gay population based on the Kinsey Report at a campaign event in north central Iowa. Rather than running for president, both Bachmann and "Marcia" ought to be seeking treatment from legitimate mental health care experts as opposed to some quack clinic like the one they own that peddles lies and religious hocus pocus "cures." Here are highlights from The Advocate on the encounter:

Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann and her husband Marcus dismissed a woman who confronted them with information about the size of the gay population at a campaign event in north central Iowa on Sunday.

CNN reports on the exchange at a pizza restaurant, where the candidate was approached by a woman wearing a Bachmann sticker and holding a sign that said, “Gay-friendly Iowan.”

Schnell then said, "I wonder if you're aware that 10% of the population is gay. And if you have 28 children, then 2.8 of those kids are very likely gay." Bachmann seemed to ignore her, but then replied after Schnell commented that she was not listening.

"Well, that's according to the Kinsey Report," said Bachmann, in a reference to the sex researcher. Marcus Bachmann, who has been accused of offering therapy to “change” gay people at his clinic in Minnesota, said, "Your facts are wrong.”

"That's not valid?" asked Schnell. "No, it isn't," said the congresswoman before she moved to the next table. Her husband added, "No, it's not at all. It's been a myth for many years."

[T]he event also drew other gay rights activists, including a college student who wanted to ask Bachmann about gay teen suicides but was told she would not be taking questions.

If the Bachmann's want to talk about myths, then they need to come clean on the myth that "Marcia" isn't a huge closeted queen. He makes most drag queens look ultra-butch.
