(Bachmann is known for her virulently antigay stance and led the effort to amend the MN constitution and ban gay marriage.) She was spotted hiding in the bushes at a pro same-sex marriage rally at the state capitol.

Originally Posted By BlueDevilSF Well, I don't know about her, but her husband is widely believed to be a MAJOR closet case. He's a mental health professional who runs a counseling clinic specializing in faith-based therapy. Conversion (i.e., ex-gay) therapy is apparently on the clinic's menu as well.

Originally Posted By BlueDevilSF Missed that one, but then I rarely watched it. It sort of struck me as a gay show for straight people.

Originally Posted By planodisney It is pretty amazing. Conservatives are being much more gracious in defeat, than alot of liberals are being in victory.

Originally Posted By planodisney Yes i have, but this is theby far the most gracious any side has been in defeat for a very long time. Clinton or bush never had a chance. many republicans are willing to put their support behind him as he tackles these tough issues, but we will still hold his feet to the fire on issues of dramatic difference.
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Plano, I don't think you'd notice anything good about liberals based on your comments in the past. There has been an outpouring of hope and happiness and willingness to move forward. I'm sorry you haven't been able to see it because it's been wonderful.

Although Bush has come closer to it than anyone else in history.
