Michele Bachmann confronted by boy who says: ‘My mommy’s gay but doesn’t need fixing

**min0 lee** · 12-06-2011, 02:18 PM

It isn't often Michele Bachmann is at a loss for words, but the GOP presidential candidate was left speechless when an 8-year-old boy confronted her about homosexuality.

Video of the awkward encounter at a recent book-signing event in South Carolina has gone viral on YouTube.

In it, the soft-spoken child is seen approaching the Tea Party favorite.

After some coaxing from Bachmann, the boy, Elijah, tells her, "My mommy, Miss Bachmann, my mommy's gay but she doesn't need any fixing."

Bachmann — who had been leaning over the table embracing the child — quickly stands up, casts a cold stare at the woman standing behind Elijah, and is heard saying, "Bye-bye!"

The Minnesota congresswoman has been outspoken in her fight against gay marriage. Her family's counseling clinic has come under scrutiny for reportedly telling homosexual patients to “pray away the gay” in order to become straight.

Critics on Twitter and the blogosphere have slammed the video, arguing it looks like the boy was pressured to confront the candidate. They note the woman behind him, presumably his mother, is heard in the background encouraging him to speak.

But the woman who videotaped the confrontation told Chicago Now that the boy was the one who wanted to approach Bachmann.

“His mom was going to say something to her, but she got nervous and told me she wanted to leave. We were about to step out of the line but Elijah cried out, "Nooo!" He grabbed onto her coat and pulled her back in the line, saying he wanted to talk to her," said the woman, who gave only her first name, Jennifer.

"When we got up to Michele, he got a little stage fright. His mom just didn't want him to not say it because he was afraid, because she knew he would regret it if he didn't," she added.

Jennifer’s relationship with Elijah and his mother was unclear.

what a fuckin joke of a person! She doesn't accept evolution, she thinks vaccines cause autism, and she thinks being gay is a choice. Oh wait, all of the GOP candidates believe this nonsense except Huntsman.

Nice job of using the kid as a tool.

That's what leads to the notion of gay being a choice.
Something that gets turned on and off like a switch.

I don't understand someone forcing themselves to go either way.
People's brains have the ability to make rational decisions to determine lifestyles.

No, religion leads to the notion that being gay is a choice. There is no legitimate argument against homosexuality, only religious doctrine. This is why it should have no place in our laws. This is a secular country, full of ignorant christian idiots who ignore science.

The American Psychological Association has stated it's position on the matter and they say that after 50 years of research they conclude that homosexuality is not a choice, and that efforts to try and "fix" gays only leads to psychological issues. Christian conservatives ignore science like this because it doesn't fit into their retarded religious views.

That, and experience. I've seen plenty of chicks decide to play for the other team when their man dumped them.

Luckily for the rest of the educated world, science is not a belief system and doesn't progress by faith and belief. It moves forward based on facts and evidence.(most of the time)

Bachman represents all the ignorance that fundamentalist Christianity brings to the table, it is just like Sharia Islam. Rarely, if ever, does anything good come from it.

You have no religion, which is fine. But you don't believe in science? Is it all magic or something?

The only thing worse than Michelle Bachmann is coaching your child to use him as a political tool and then broadcasting his image across the world. What a fucking disgrace. Horrible horrible horrible.

The people who believe being gay is a choice I recommend you try sucking a dick to see how you like it. After doing so I'm sure that it will become abundantly clear that being gay is not a choice.

As for women turning gay after they get dumped, I believe that in many cases they are as gay as they are hetero. "Bitter man haters" might be the most accurate word to describe them. They probably don't lick pussy behind close doors or even kiss for that matter. They'd much prefer to share the same bed and discuss how much they hate men.

Not always the case I'm sure but you don't hear gay guys speaking to women in a derogatory manner.

**BillHicksFan** · 12-06-2011, 05:31 PM

Looks like that kids has no idea what he's even saying. I'm all for gay rights but that really was a cheap trick.

There are people that like having sex with animal. So it's not a choice for them? How about guys that are attracted to preteen girls? Is it "not a choice" for them too?

Yo dude,
I read some of your other posts(think it was on gh)and it was a good read.
And I don't give a shit about your blanket statements on gop ect.
Thats why we vote. I have no problems with someone with another opinion.
But I have an issue with once again you're blanket statements on the Christianity.(I think you used the word retarded)
I for one am no bible thumper but my family and myself are Christian.You I can see are an athiest which is your choice.But what gets me is you guys sit and preach your own agenda and everyone else that doesn't see it your way are ...retarded.
Whether you choose to believethere is a God or not I can tell you one thing.The world would be alot better if more people had say "Christian" values.It is a religion yes,but it is really about being a better person and helping out fellow man.
And yes,it can be exploited and taken to the extreme.
But just look around once in awhile.Whether it's helping a family with no food,or who just lost their house in some sot of catastrophe(i.e. katrina).
Or better yet, on the world wide spectrum such as the tsunami,haiti earthquake,AIDS ect. If you look at how many Christians(or as you would say,retards)were the ones donating their time,goods,money,whatever,
I would have to say that they are pretty good people all in all.

I wouldn't disagree w any of this, i think Jesus had it right in the morals he preached. I'm just too intelligent to believe in virgin births and talking snakes.

Now, on the current topic, it's incredibly obvious that it is the religious folks who are leading the war of discrimination against gays. Do you dispute this? They are also the only ones who try to make abortion and stem cell research illegal. Do you dispute this? Like I said before, there is absolutely no legitimate argument against homosexuality, just religious doctrine from the bible. Christians quote the bible when they call it an abomination, yet in that same chapter from which they quote, it also says gays must be put to death. Jesus never said anything about gays.

You're reading way too much into it. It was a joke. You know, sexual innuendo?

And yes, I like Christians.

As long as the feelings are mutual and both partners give consent then that relationships is nobody's business apart from the couple's involved. As long as they arent hurting anybody, not you nor anybody else has any right to stop them from loving one another and it is cruel and immoral to make them feel bad about who they are and how they choose to live their lives.

As for beastiality, that goes against the basic principles of humanity as it is not humane to rape a beast. It doesn't share the human emotion and if the beast does give sexual consent it is on a very primitive and instinctual level.

As for pedophilia, some people are sick. Some people murder, some people rape and they have little to no conscience.

Comparing the genuine love of two individuals to such horrific aspects of human nature such as beastiality and pedophilia is quite disturbing and an insult to the kind hearted homosexual population.

You should really stick to comparing apples with apples in my opinion.
