Bachmann Joins Anti-Gay Hate Group

Rep. Michele Bachmann has joined the board of directors of the virulently anti-gay Thomas More Law Center, which has litigated against numerous LGBT rights ordinances. Here's their crowing press release:

"We are honored to have the counsel of a tough, tested, true American patriot; a person who puts her country above politics, party and political correctness. She understands and shares our concerns about the internal threat to our nation posed by Stealth Jihad as well as maintaining the Judeo-Christian values that made this nation 'the shining city on the hill.'" Michele Bachmann is the mother of five and the foster mother of 23. As a believer in the traditional values upon which this country was founded, she consistently defends traditional marriage, the importance of the family as the first unit of government, and the right to life for all Americans, including the unborn. Bachmann expressed her strong commitment to America's Judeo-Christian heritage and values: "I am honored to stand with the Thomas More Law Center as they engage in the legal battles to uphold the Judeo-Christian values upon which our country was founded."

Most recently Thomas More was granted standing to defend Cook County, Illinois against marriage equality lawsuits filed by Lambda Legal and the ACLU.
