Presidential hopeful and Minnesota
Representative Michele Bachmann's husband, Marcus Bachmann, has
triggered singer Cher's gaydar.
Marcus
Bachmann's views on being gay were discussed on a recent MSNBC
segment.
In the segment, Marcus Bachmann, who
runs a government-subsidized Christian counseling clinic, is heard
saying in 2010, “We have to understand: barbarians [gay people]
need to be educated. They need to be disciplined,” and is seen
dancing on a stage at a campaign stop with his wife of 30 years.
The Daily Beast contributor
David Graham explained to host Thomas Roberts that “in Christian
circles barbarians [are] people who are outside of the norms of
behavior.”
“He's allegedly participated in
gay-to-straight therapy, he's talked about [the] homosexual agenda,”
Graham said.
The segment prompted Cher to message
her more than 250,000 followers: “Just heard Michele Bachmann's OH
SO CHRISTIAN husband talk about 'Gays' in the most UNCHRISTIAN way
WTF!”
“But Boys please utube this asshole &
tell me what u think … Cause My Gay-Dar is GOING OFF!!!”
“How a Christian can call Any of
God's Children … I can't talk! WHO R THESE FKN People? C if u can
find his views of what 2 do 2 'Gays'”
“Boys I'm not kidding! I'm listening
2 this >%~€¥^<<&&&& I'm thinking
GAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAY Without Style!” she added moments later.
Cher went on to defend gay people, then
added: “I'm calling Kathleen about the Bachmann's! She's still a
little in 2 Wiener (sp) but she will b all over these hypocrites!”
