Michele Bachmann: Gays Want To Let Adults 'Freely Prey On Little Children Sexually' | Right Wing Watch

Shit must be getting real for the Reich, "the" Michele Bachmann has spoken and we all know she only speaks the truth. Following the (erroneous) "gay manifesto" canard of Jody "I wanna be Paul Brown" Hice, Bachmann felt it necessary to add her futuristic view of American society if the LGBT community where actually to gain the status of human being.
The Minnesota Republican warned that the gay community will “abolish age of consent laws, which means we will do away with statutory rape laws so that adults will be able to freely prey on little children sexually. That’s the deviance that we’re seeing embraced in our culture today.”

She also predicted that gay rights advocates will legalize polygamy and enact “hate speech laws across the United States” in order to bring about “the rise of tyranny.”

“This is a revolution that we are encountering now,” she said of marriage equality. “For all of the thousands of years of recorded human history, about 5,000 years, there is no instance of any culture, nation or tribe ever having as the established standard for marriage anything other than between man and woman. It may have been multiple women and a man, it may have been something like that, but it was always between men and women.”
Bachmann has obviously not read John Boswell's (some what controversial) 1994 book Same-Sex Unions in Pre-Modern Europe where he substantiates a case from early church records of ceremonies where two men were joined in unions that used the same rituals as heterosexual marriages. (Boswell's other book written in 1980, Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality: Gay People in Western Europe from the Beginning of the Christian Era to the Fourteenth Century).

There is also numerous examples throughout history of various types of same-sex unions: Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia and China. As for other cultures, she may want to read up on Native American culture and societies concerning Two-Spirit-type relationships.

I don't know about anyone else but I sure would not want her as my advocate in a court of law, her ignorance or blatant disregard of history is mind numbing.

After all that, Bachmann insisted that she was communicating a message of love for gay people and that conservatives must show the nation that God “is so much more powerful than the evil we see unleashed upon the world today.”
