Michele Bachmann and the Ex-Gay Scam

Excellent video from IN THE LIFE about ex-gay ministries: It's been reported that Marcus Bachmann's clinic does the "pray-away-the-gay"... this is from the City Pages: Last November, the Bachmanns attended a "Minnesota Pastors' Summit" at Grace Church in Eden Prairie. Some 300 religious leaders participated in the event, which was organized by the conservative, antigay Minnesota Family Council. Michele Bachmann was there to lead a session on the gay marriage amendment, while Marcus offered a presentation titled "The Truth About the Homosexual Agenda." For Marcus Bachmann's session, [Curt] Prins says there were more than 100 people crammed in a room at Grace, and most of the presentation involved stereotypes of gays. "He was saying how homosexuality was a choice, that it was not genetics," Prins says. "He was claiming there was a high predominance of sexual abuse in the GLBT community. There was no research to back any of this up." (Marcus Bachmann refused to answer questions about the seminar.) The climax of the presentation was when, according to Prins, Bachmann brought up "three ex-gays, like part of a PowerPoint presentation." The trio, two white men and a black woman, all testified that they had renounced their homosexuality. "One of them said, 'If I was born gay, then I'll have to be born again,'" Prins recalls. "The crowd went crazy." .. Here's Marcus: And then there's Janet Boynes, Michele Bachmann's ex-lesbian minister friend... Here's some photos (by Michele M) from the 2006 CD GOP convention showing the Bachmanns and Janet Boynes;
