I love that hot young gay men are now undercover spies. (See Video) More problematic? Presidential aspirants involved in widely disparaged and debunked forms of psychotherapy, specifically here, alleged gay-to-straight therapy.
Michelle Bachmann and her husband Marcus own and operate this clinic in suburban Minneapolis. That they are using this ineffective therapy is but the tip of the iceberg – is this clinic accepting government funds (as in Medicaid) for religious indoctrination? Last I checked, that was still a violation of the law. I don’t know whether or not Marcus Bachmann is a closeted gay man, as others have asked. I don’t really care.
What I do care about is the hateful betrayal of children that therapy of this kind precipitates. You can see this in the eyes of the young man in the video, who told his mother that his instinct told him this kind of “repair” would never work – ’cause there was nothing in need of repairing. He was born the way he was born, like all of us are.
I’m looking forward to learning more about the Bachmann Clinic and its work. I hope that organizations like Truth Wins Out and standard news organizations step up the investigations. At the rate we’re going, it’s appearing that the Bachmanns are just piling on the batshit crazy, instead of seriously trying to eliminate any of it.
Not that you’re surprised.
