Marcus Bachmann, Michele's Husband and Counselor to
Ex-Gays
From the Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- The husband of Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann says counselors at his family's Christian clinics are not focused on converting homosexuals to heterosexuality through prayer.
Marcus Bachmann told the Star Tribune in a report published
Friday that his Minnesota clinics "don't have an agenda or a
philosophy of trying to change someone."
Bachmann's comments follow the release of a gay activist's
undercover video that appears to show one of the clinics'
counselors offering reparative therapy to help him become
heterosexual. The video produced by gay advocacy group Truth Wins
Out was first aired Monday by ABC News.
Marcus Bachman, whose business has collected government
funding from Medicaid-backed programs, says counselors follow the
wishes of patients and don't force any treatment.
COMMENTARY
Marcus Bachmann has become the focus of lies and abuse
by the homosexual lobby due to his strong leadership as a
professional who knows that ex-homosexuals or "ex-gays" prove that
homosexuality is chosen and not a matter of heredity in all
cases.
Together with his wife they have been a faithful married
couple that have brought many children into the world and been
foster parents as well. For her part, Presidential candidate
Michele Bachmann has not been shy or demure when it comes to
proclaiming pro-marriage laws and protections and condeming
homosexuality.
But the Family Advocate award goes to Marcus who is not
running for president but is receiving the full scorn of the
militant gay lobby for simply reversing some lives that were lost
to immorality. Even one success story is one too many to the
immoral intolerance of the militant gay lobby.
