Calling Out the GOP's Anti-LGBT Falsehoods

"Rick Perry, who several years ago asked a crowd if they would "rather live in a state like this [Texas], or in a state where a man can marry a man," has tried to tamp down his anti-gay past in a bid to look slightly more mainstream. But days before jumping into the presidential contest, Perry hosted a Christian-only day of prayer, sponsored by the rabidly anti-gay American Family Association (AFA) and supported by representatives from the International House of Prayer -- which was a driving force behind Uganda's "kill the gays" legislation. Then there is Michele Bachmann -- her husband has been accused of practicing dangerous "reparative therapy" at his clinic in Minnesota, and Bachmann herself has equated being gay to being "part of Satan." She also has compared hate crime protections for LGBT Americans to protections for pedophiles and said marriage equality would force "little children ... to learn that homosexuality is normal, natural and perhaps they should try it.""
