Here’s the latest evidence that the issue that has animated Michele Bachmann’s political career as much as any other is marriage — and not letting gay people have access to it.
Via National Journal, the liberal group American Bridge dug up a 2006 interview with then-state legislator Bachmann on the question of gay marriage.
Asked why opening up marriage to gay people would threaten Minnesotans, Bachmann responds: “Schools will then be teaching that homosexuality, or lesbianism, or same-sex marriage, or group marriage, or polygamy is normal, natural and maybe kids should try it.”
She also goes after “Big Love,” HBO’s serial drama about a polygamous Mormon family in Utah, for “normalizing polygamy.”
