Michele Bachmann endorses gay marriage!
Traditional gay marriage, that is -- otherwise known as "mixed orientation marriage."

She doesn't explain how the gay partner finds a straight partner willing to go along with this, other than by hiding his true orientation -- which has also been the traditional practice, though it doesn't seem very fair or truthful or, um, "Christian."

http://www.startribune.com/opinion/otherviews/135036948.html

Jane Schmidt, a high school student in Waverly, Iowa, recently asked Michele Bachmann, "Why can't same-sex couples get married?"

"They can get married," Bachmann responded, "but they abide by the same law as everyone else. They can marry a man if they're a woman. Or they can marry a woman if they're a man."

(In Iowa, same-sex marriage is the law, at least for now, but never mind that.)

She expanded on this in a response to another student: "Every American citizen has the right to avail themselves to marriage, but they have to follow what the laws are. And the laws are you marry a person of the opposite sex."

2. She is simply repeating what she told Marcus.

3. This happened all the time back in the '50s
a gay male couple and a lesbian couple would "swap spouses."

Then again, polio happened a lot back in the '50s, too. Would the Crazy Cat Lady want to go back to that?
