Crazy Eyes Signs Anti-Gay Iowa Pledge:
I Believe Homosexuality Is A Choice
Iowa's anti-gay hate group, Family Leader, has convinced Rep. Michele Bachmann to sign their lengthy "contract" with political candidates who must vow, among other things, that they believe that homosexuality is a choice. More on the pledge:
Presidential candidates who sign the pledge must agree to personal fidelity to his or her spouse, the appointment of “faithful constitutionalists” as judges, opposition to any redefinition of marriage, and prompt reform of uneconomic and anti-marriage aspects of welfare policy, tax policy and divorce law. The Marriage Vow also outlines support for the legal advocacy for the federal Defense of Marriage Act, humane efforts to protect women and children, rejection of Sharia Islam, safeguards for all married and unmarried U.S. military service members, and commitment to downsizing government and the burden upon American families.Bachmann agrees: "No peer-reviewed empirical science or rational demonstration has ever definitively proven, nor even has shown an overwhelming probability, that homosexual preference or behavior is irresistible as a function of genetic determinism or other forms of fatalism." Box Turtle Bulletin notes that a footnote to the pledge also declares that LGBT people have a life expectancy of 40 years.
